I'm posting this in the Pattaya forum as it's specific to our fair city, rather than to general health and well-being in Thailand.

The background is given here:

I saw Dr. Anna this morning for routine six-monthly cryotherapy and she confirmed that she will retire at the end of August and then go to see her daughter who works at Stanford. As already mentioned in the topic, it's not her decision and has been forced on her by Bangkok Hospital. It seems all the e-mails of support we sent the hospital asking for them to reconsider their decision were blithely ignored. She mentioned that she's not alone and a number of older doctors are being forced out too. I asked her for a recommendation to replace her but she said she's not allowed to say anything. She also said something about there being "many new, young doctors starting work", but that's the last thing we need, I think at least in medical matters most of us prefer age and experience over youth and enthusiasm.

So that's it, the end of an era for some of us. If you want a last review of your skin or a cryotherapy treatment with Dr. Anna, then you've got a bit over a month left to do so.

At what age are they generally being forced out?

With such a large population and so many foreigners living here and so many tourists coming for medical tourism, they are pushing doctors out?
