Could the injections cause you to post nonsense for attention or make you generally weird?  It could be something else. You’d probably be better off with a psychologist than a GP.  

I noticed one of your threads that you been wetting the bed and you asked what to do about it

Wear nappies !,what answer would you like from posters? 

The great thing is you won't be here in 5 years at your age so why worry?

You keep wetting that bed GrandDad

You can get a quick private medical care in Europe for a lot less money than in Thailand. If UK does not have this option, they could have travelled to countries in Europe that do.

Well the UK is not in the EU any more... but there is a medical card (GHIC) UK citizens can get to allow treatment while holidaying in EU countries, but I  believe it is emergency care  and for pre-existing conditions only.

Long time no see Aussie doctor....???

$90 for short visit these days (5-10 minutes)

Get medicare refund maybe $35.

Blood test at another establishment add to that.

Betting you'd be forking out at least $250 to begin with.

Then you need another short doctor visit fee to get results.

Cheap Charlie....get insurance.

Costs me nothing,open heart surgery, nothing, colonoscopy, nothing, blood test x-ray ultra sound CT scan, nothing.

I will stick with the free blood tests in Australia!! 

You wouldn't want to be sick here 

I'm going !!!

Find a "lab" near you and do all blood and urine tests at low cost and they explain your result if you need it.

So you are using the Government Medicare national health system 

The only problem with that vs private insurance is waiting times

who wants to be sick anywhere? 

 

That said, i just had a follow-up appointment where we changed meds - only a few minutes with the Doctor - 300 baht... the new meds were a bit overpriced but that seems to be the system...

 

And on the other hand - the lights were on and bright, plenty of nurses and janitors keeping the place sparkling clean and administrative staff and guards outside and splashy machinery if you need it and... the doctor has to make a living too... right?

I have attended the emergency department at Pattaya city hospital on soi Bukahao several times and was seen promptly and treated very professionally and amazed at the low cost.

I know someone who was charged 500Bt just to even see the doctor at this hospital.

I was just quoted $25,000 Cdn funds to remove a kidney stone at a hospital in Sri Racha.  That was the minimum price.  The private health sector in Thailand is ridiculous.  Thieves, all of them in my opinion.

A hernia op in Bangkok's top private hospital cost 6000$US.

May be see another hospital for price.
