Emergency Care At Bkk Hospital

[jackdawson]

Because I am a spaz , I tripped running and landed on my face , arm and leg .

(Arm , leg minor bit I ended up with a) Nice big , deep gash right above my right eye .

I am a child so thank god I had a friend who helped me through the ordeal .

We ended up at the emergency room of a Rama IX hospital.

All I can say is I was treated like I matter , you know (maybe ?) the way it used to be in the States.

Very professional 40ish doctor spent over an hour sewing me up ; interestingly , he spent two years in Boston .

I now look like Rocky after he lost the Apollo Creed fight.

I went back today to have the bandages changed ; the doctor said all is progressing .

So far I am out a little less than $300 US.

Have no idea how much two emergency room visits would cost in LA , or whether I'd be in and out in 15 minutes like today , and have no desire to (ever) find out .

Trying to be philosophical about the money .

While at the same time embracing both my misfortune in hurting myself and fortune in that it happened here . Yin yang right?

Not to mention baby steps.
