Its astonishing how people vent so much anger and jealousy and call people about a go fund me page to help with expensive cancer treatment. The guy had already declated he’s going to pay his own way. You don’t have to donate so why all the name calling.

 

I buy insurance here but it’s high cost and doesn’t even cover for more than 1million baht. It was a scam and I bought it in my 30,s 

 

I’ve now got a pre existing condition so I’m stuck with it and to be honest I doubt they would pay out if I needed it. 

 

Its all a scam. People who pay taxes here and social fund for Thai employees Like I do should be entitled to the social care system but I’m not allowed to join it.  

 

I pay out for everyone else but I doubt I would be covered myself even after buying insurance. 

 

Its all good and well calling others when you are young or you havnt needed to use your insurance yet due to a scare that is then labelled pre existing condition.

 

Its a scam so don’t blame the patient. Instead blame the system and the rip off insurers and those treating medical care like a business.

 

 

 

 

 

"Its all a scam. People who pay taxes here and social fund for Thai employees Like I do should be entitled to the social care system but I’m not allowed to join it."

 

If you are either an employer or an employee here, joining is not optional, not only are your allowed to join but it is mandatory to contribute 1.5% of your earnings, and as soon as you have paid in for 90 days you are entitled to free treatment at at least one  government hospital per province.

Given the publicity that a Farang death gets, a heart attack with two ladyboys on the job down Soi 6/1, has got to be the worst way to go.

My father died of cancer of the oesophagus he told me 'You don't recover from this' . He was in England N.H.S. etc , he died Insurance was completey irrelevant he died.

 

Bangkok Hospital Rayong charges 34,000 thb for 1st shot in Rabies course of injections , I wonder how much they charge for Cancer of the throat ?

 

Wrap an insurance policy around that.

 

Forget writing about insurance all day.

Your father was stating a fact. Sorry to hear that. And that’s why people should be a bit more guarded with their comments, if they consider themselves decent human beings.

If he has chemo or/radiation he is poisioning his body. Look up "Cancer the fotbidden cures"

Gerson therapy works. Essiac works. Dr.Burzynski antineoplsston thrraphy works. Immediatly go on a whole raw food diet and take Himalayan apricot kernals. The laetrile in the kernals kills cancer cells. Make your body alkaline, cancer cannot live in an alkaline body. It may help initially to go on a water diet if you carry excess weight. Remember cancer spreads so the faster action is taken the better. Inform yourself before you jump at conventional toxic treatments. See the Burzynski movie on youtube. An informed individual is more likely to survive without big bills.

It’s not a subject that I like to dwell on, but I have seen documentaries about people who have attempted to treat their cancer with alternative approaches other than conventional medicine ... the majority of whom died at the end! I’d do my research but ultimately I’d stick with the best professional advice I could afford.

And what about people with pre existing conditions? Insurance companies going to blanket cover everyone? Doubt it. Then they would have to increase the cost so much for everyone. Are you going to see people with pec flocking to Thailand to get in on the visa insurance so they can get coverage that they normally wouldn't be able to get? And if the limits are set low, well most of those hospital visits could be covered oop anyway.

The only patients tracked after receiving Gerson therapy have died within 5 years of receiving treatment, there is not one single case of someone being cured of cancer by this odd quackery of injecting people with raw calf liver, receiving enemas and drinking gallons of fruit juice.

 

Essiac's method has been tested on animals and demonstrated zero cancer cell destroying ability and no known case of a person being cured of cancer using this method.

 

Burzynski's method was once claimed to have cured 4 people of cancer, however when those 4 people were tracked down 2 were already dead and the other 2 had cancer, there is no evidence of any successes.

 

Himalayan apricot kernels were trialed with 175 cancer patients and the cancer grew in all patients, there is no evidence that anyone has ever been cured of cancer by eating these kernels.

 

You cannot "make your body alkaline" without overloading your kidneys to the point of failure, its simply impossible.

 

"If he has chemo or/radiation he is poisioning his body"

True, that's kind of the idea.  Now just why was it that you recommended those kernels containing that famous poison, cyanide?

 

"An informed individual" is not one who reads joke websites designed to poke fun at the gullible and then repeats them as if they have been 'researching' some new scientific discovery.

Yeah we know.  There are about 10% of the TV community who are "holier than thou", compassionateless jerks can't get enough of telling everyone else how better off they are than everyone else and how those who are not wealthy would be better off simply flying off a building in Pattaya then asking for money via GoFundMe.  Have any of you heartless people ever considered that the Go Fund Me community is made up of compassionate humans who have empathy of others, who believe in the saying that, "There but for the grace of God go I?" 

Not necessarily so...many of these utubers are total flakes. Living off of utube. Ha!

Because he has been out of the country 4 years and is not eligible for NHS treatment without going private, which will probably cost him double again, jeez do people just get up and go and not research this stuff, pure ignorant. The treatment he will get Thailand will be just as good if not better than UK.

As I said, cost means nothing. To me anyway. This is his life at stake. 

 

I did not even know people thought Thai medical was on par with top countries. To me that would be like saying Thai golfers are "just as good" as USA golfers.

Yes, because no one ever breaks the rules in Thailand, especially not the authorities?

That seems to assume athlete (or doctor) skill level is attributed to genes. I would say genes are more or less a level playing field between countries (although some countries have many more people which is an obvious advantage).

 

I do not think it is too big a leap to say in Tiger Woods' case that it was much more about his environment that made him great. 

 

It is an interesting topic though. I only brought it up because I think it it easier to see skill levels between athletes when compared to doctors. And again, I am betting the overall skill levels of the top doctors in both countries more or less follows the patterns of each countrie's athletes.

I was musing on this subject the other day. No matter how much training I put in as a youngster, Usain Bolt could do no training at all, and crush me at 100m ... but I’m definitely a better football (soccer) player than he’ll ever be (I’ve seen him play). We all have a physical potential, and can get better with practice, but in sports at the top level genetics wins the day. Aamir Khan is a great boxer, incredibly skilful, but he has a weak jaw and gets knocked out easily. No training can help him with that. 

 

I’m sure there are a few world class Thai medics, they are particularly good in the area of transgender surgery (they get a lot of practice) but in general they can’t match up to US healthcare ... as you will have more world class surgeons, not to mention enormous R&D in healthcare.

I am quite allergic to such retarded cheap charlies like the “kev & the other idiot from Kamala in Phuket”
The one that opened the “go fund me” for the bigmouth that’s now in Pattaya-Bangkok hospital is “ 20 seconds in Thailand” owner of that youtube channel.
By the way, he’s also a constant beggar, begging for his supposed bar women that had some kind of problem in her eyes, another had another medical condition and so on.
He has that youtube channel that doesn’t bring him even 5000 thb/month.
Then he opened a PATREON account and he’s living in Thailand with the money of the lads supporting him. A real monguer, like the other one “ Sunny”.
But for this Kev’ I dont know how he can say his cancer is not liked with the cigarettes he smokes and the alcohol he drinks!!!
That prick has a Ford Ranger new, and properties in Spain plus a good stash of cash, now let him show how generous he is paying for himself and his treatment... the supposed fiancée didn’t even pay him a visit at hospital since he’s admitted there.
That tells much about what kind of lad he’s and about the kind of “ madam his gf is...”[emoji23]
But RECOVER SOON KEV’

I do not even know what an nhs hospital is. I am still betting the care is better though. But you are right, being inexperienced on the matter i could be wrong. I know for a fact i would head back to the usa for cancer treatment, and i would do anything i could to force any loved ones or friends to do the same - even if i "had to pay double" as someone noted. 

 

Are you betting nhs care is better, the same or worse than thai care when it comes to cancer?

Take note...The Tax you pay in UK on your earnings does not pay for your healthcare.

National Insurance Contributions pay for NHS and your State Pension.

To enable a FULL State Pension you have to be contributing for xxx number of years.

Any years missed you can make a payment.

If you have made Contributions then you are entitled to NHS.

The rules slightly changed 2 years ago that you have to be registered with a Dr. As i have already said...Drs do not write to you asking you to confirm if you still want to stay registered with them.

Therefore even if someone has lived in another country for xx years they should still have a Dr.

That use to be the case in Oz too.  Now you have to reside in Oz for two years before getting portability.  I. E.   home detention before you can take your pension overseas.  Don't be surprised when the UK do something similar.
