I would assume there would be other Gout sufferers on this forum ,in Thailand or back home .

  Unfortunately I have been struck down with gout  and was driven to a clinic by  Dao's dad and for company Dao her mum and one of her aunties came along , 130 k's later we got to the clinic and of course the place was packed ( I did not have an appointment ) . I was thinking the worst as with 99% of the the time when Thai people are there they take priority  over falungs , this was not the case at all .I was  in great pain and needed a wheelchair to get into the clinic and was bumped  up the que  ahead  a Monk .

  Anyway blood tests and 4 X-rays later the doctor confirmed it was gout , then gave me two injections and a mess of tablets and a  free follow up appointment for a weeks time .

When it came time to pay the receptionist asked if I was insured , I said yes . She said don't put a claim in as the bin for today is 1,200 baht .

 

  I have to say over the years I have heard many expats complain about being over charged , NOT in this case , I was very impressed and the overall service was amazing and they even wheeled me back to the car and helped me in . About an hour after we got home Dao received a call from the clinic to see if I was ok and anther one this morning .  

 

   Very impressed .

 

  If anyone has had any good luck encounters with the Thai medical service , please let us know .

Any other medical ailments /  complaints that you would like to share involving  the Thai health system please feel free to add them .

I had a similar encounter at a hospital in Samut Prakan years ago. As l hobbled out of the car, an orderly saw me from across the car park, shouted to me to stay there, and rushed over with a wheelchair. Gout is a pain, and no joke! But great service, and saw a doctor in a matter of minutes.

According to Jimbo (and others) he should be OK as he is only in stage 2 of his kidney disease. 

The bad news is that he will have to cut right down on stuff like his beloved English Breakfasts and red meat, which will no doubt make him very grumpy. :biggrin:

Sorry I'm apparently not smart enough to know how to report the above post as SPAM.

Even Einstein would not be able to figure out how to Report posts as we disabled the Report System.  We were not in the habit of monitoring that system so we wouldn't see the reports until months later.

You can shoot me or BB a PM to report posts.
