Govt. Hospital

[elektrified]

Oh for those who may be interested ..the cost per day for an inpatient at the general ward is 600baht. Its also fan only. Im not sure what the final costs will be, but i imagine the other costs such as medicinal and bandages etc, would be the same for SriPat Special Medical area. I know his IV antibiotic treatment is 50 baht a bottle (cant remember how many mgs), and he 3 bottles a day (well i think its two bottles of one kind..and then one bottle of some other kind...will check later when i go to see him). He says the food isnt bad either!

Why would a farang stay in the general ward? Why not pay 800 Baht more per day and stay here ----> http://www.cmed.cmu.ac.th/container-eng/wp.../06/room-15.swf

Maybe they are teacher types who can just get along on their salaries. Many of us have been there.

EEK? That is not Sripat; that's the general wards for Thais, quite different. I have only waited over an hour in the main hospital, and waited half the day then. It should be cheap, but a private air-con room ast the top of Sripat is mabe 1,300 baht per day. I usually see a professor within 15-20 mintues.

I visited a young thai friend there with my daughter,a Charge Nurse (Hosp nurse in charge) from the USA. She had never seen such poor infection control. What would get a US Nurse fired seemed to be SOP.
