KKU Hospital Lung Specialist

[carlyai]

Hello.

Since before Thai New Year I had the flu that turned into pneumonia. 

1 week in the local village hospital, antibiotics etc.

So now still have lingering lung issues and would like a recommendation to see a lung specialist at KKU after-hours-clinic.

The local hospital was OK but I feel their old x-ray machine may not show all the problems and due to lack of beds they transfered me from emergency into the stroke ward with 7 others recovering from strokes and there am I coughing up toenails day and night, so stroke people (and me) unhappy. Plus hot and sweaty and they only turned the aircon on for 2 hours at 2 pm.

Just like another opinion.

If you know Srinagarin Hospital, you'll be familiar with the 2 roundabouts shown. SMC is on the ground floor of the building, on the right as you enter.

Thanks again Sheryl.

KKU booked up till August so saw Prof. Watchara yesterday at Ratchapruek yesterday.

Brilliant hospital and a pleasure to visit. Reminded me of our working in China experience, same tasteful architecture style.

Xray showed lungs clear but need to use a steroid spray 2 puffs in morning and evening and should be OK in 1 or 2 months.

Good specialist, good hospital and B1200 odd for xray (B650) and Dr. 

500km round trip nearly free as drive an EV and and was doing under 90km/hr at the 3 police radar traps on the way. Gotta watch for the small 90km/hr sign and police car and radar gun behind trees. 🙂
