October 25, 20241 yr Popular Post I recently spent two nights at this hospital, after a diagnosis of pneumonia. I presented at the Emergency Department with a fever of 39 C, uncontrollable shaking, and a pulse rate of 140 bpm. Plus my pink Thai ID card. In summary, I had: Round-the clock nursing care 4 bedside visits by doctors over 2 days, At least three antibiotic IV’s, plus saline infusions Sundry decongestant and anti-nausea meds. An ECG and Chest X’ray, Four blood tests, including troponin measurements. Take-home pack of antibiotics and paracetamol. All for a grand total of just under 7000 baht. I regard that as a screaming bargain. Given the amount of patient traffic the hospital has to handle every day, IMO the staff do an outstanding job. Two things stand out for me from this experience: 1/ The importance of having simple tools such as a BP monitor and body thermometer to determine one's state of health. 2/ The value of having a Thai partner to take care of you, and negotiate the hospital bureaucracy.
