Rajapruek vs. Bangkok Horespital Khon Kaen?

Anyone have any recent experience who can compare Bangkok vs. Rajapruek Horsepitals in Khon Kaen?

Tks, lah!

[uhuh]

Bangkok Hospital was better,  but i forgot the details

[rexall]

You mean the memory treatment you were getting at Bangkok failed?

With any hospital it will depend entirely on the specific doctor. And not unusual for the same doctor to be at more than one hospital.

Obviously the doc is important, very important. But don't you think the nursing and support staff, the surroundings and the generally the way you are treated by staff make a difference?

If you are talking about outpatient  care I don't think these matter much if at all. At least not to me. I seek quality medical care and no amount of deference from support staff and nice ambience will compensate if I don't get it. I do not go to a hospital to enjoy the surroundings etc and I don't expect to enjoy the trip. . Of course, I do prefer it to be clean, have places to sit down that are air conditioned and to be reasonably easy to access but those are true at pretty much all private hospitals, it is  nly the public ones where one might have to  suffer a bit in the course of getting care.

 

For inpatient yes the quality of nursing care is important. Though that can vary by floor even within the same hospital and is rather hard to know in advance.

 

But all else pales beside the choice of doctor.

 

I find people on this forum often make the mistake here of expecting care in a given hospital to be consistently good or bad, i.e. if they have a bad experience with a doctor then they assume it will always be bad at that hospital and vice versa. . Doesn't work that way.

Yeah, clean would be good alright.

I've used Rajapruek for the last five years and found them to be Good depends on your sickness. Prices for care (seeing Doctor) and med's are cheap compared to where I am from in the U.S. For anything serious, I go back to the states for a second/third opinion. Just saying!! For specific's PM me with your local cell and we can chat.     ;-)

Hasn't the Ratchaphruek Hospital a fairly new building? (one or two years old). So I wouldn't expect a lack of comfort/cleanliness.

 

A mate (seriously ill) visited the Bangkok Hospital a couple of times.

Of course nursing/services are good BUT he still had problems to see some doctors before 5 PM (after they finish at the University).

Thailand and Isan in particular have a dire need for qualified doctors.

I've used Rajapruk for the last 20 years. I find their new place a lot more expensive though and prefer Ram.
