Has Thailand Caught Up with the 21st Century?
Corrupt AND useless cops. That's what's worse, and Thailand has those in abundance. If you haven't yet encountered them then count yourself lucky. -

Hospital charging more for foreigners
My Mrs went for an Annual smear test with the Gynie doctor while i was having the prostate procedure, they found stage 2 cancer which is why they said she needed a full hysterectomy, she is now on hormone replacement, they have now suggested she has a follow up Scan, these annual checks apparently go on for 5 years following her operation..she is gaining weight very fast,despite her dieting -

Where to Get a Comprehensive Health Check for My Wife in Samut Prakan/Bangkok?
Note that most "cancer screening" in check up packages consists of unreliable tests recommended by no public health authority and apt to yield false positives (leading to unnecessary further tests) and negatives. There are no accurate screening tests for most cancer. The only cancer screening recommended would be: complete blood count (which she would get anyway), thin prep (formerly known as pap smear) mammogram, and perhaps colonoscopy. If she has a history if smoking, then low dose CT of the lung. Do NOT get the various blood tests many hospital tout as "cancer markers". These are used to track progression of cancer in some people who have it but are not suitabl3 for screening. Not sure what you mean by "hormone levels". TSH (thyroid) makes sense at her age but hormone testing for menopause is complex and not very accurate/useful. Beware of the more "comprehensive" packages as these contain the unnecessary things mentioned above. Private hospitals design their check up packages for marketing purposes and they are not evidence based. What makes sense at your wife's age are: Complete Blood Count (CBC) Hb1Ac Lipid panel: HDL, LDL, triglycerides BUN Creatnine Liver enzymes (ALT, AST) TSH Thin Prep if she has not had one in last few years Mammogram EKG Chest Xray (if none in past few years) urinalysis stool for occult blood You will nto find a package like the above anywhere that I know of . Best option is usually to take a lower level packaged as for younger people and then add on what is missing. + Maybe colonoscopy but that would have to be arranged separately. -

Trump’s Jan. 6 Pardons Slammed as a 'Grotesque Display' of Power by Schiff
Tug baby - your back. Haven't wised up during you absence. I guess pre-emptive pardons are OK for you. After all this protects Biden's ass from all his wrongs by pardoning every person that knows about Biden. -

Nazism is back
My mistake, sorry. I was confusing a Nazi being charged with genocide, with a gentleman accused of evacuating children from an area being shelled by Nazis. -

Thaksin’s Medical Leave Under Scrutiny: Protests Demand Reimprisonment
Didn't he get a royal pardon? That's the end of it. None is above that. I'm surprised these groups are not arrested for les majest offences.
