    Hello Sheryl...Is there a decent urologist I can see at Vachira government hospital in Phuket

    It is owned by the hospital but is a semi-private arrangement where the hospital's senior doctors can work after hours.

     

    Not much cheaper than the private hispitals.

    Wrong!  At approximately 2000 baht it is MUCH cheaper than the private hospitals. I've had check-ups at both and the Vachira clinic is by far the better deal. No ECG, PSA test or chest X-ray at Siriroj unless you pay extra, for example.

    What a horrible post. 

     

    Make an effort when asking a complicated question. 

     

    1. Chinese woman, so she's not Thai?

    2. Are you married, if so what country were you married?

    3. Joint property, so both names are on the title? 

     

    So many more questions I would like to ask but I'm not bothered to make an effort. 

     

     

    What a horrible 'answer'

    1. Chinese woman, so she's not Thai? - Brilliant deduction Sherlock.

    2. Are you married, if so what country were you married? Who said it was about me?

    Can't be bothered explaining any more as I doubt you would understand.

    What are your health rules you live by?

    I drink beer (in moderation) every day. I smoke or ingest weed every day. I eat home cooked Thai food most days (apart from the occasional fry-up, never eat McDonalds <deleted>). I don't exercise as such but stay reasonably active. Just had my annual check-up at the new clinic at Vachira (ECG, Chest X-Ray, ALL blood and urine tests (PSA, cholesterol, blood sugar etc.). Results ALL GOOD! I'm 78 years old and stress free. I sincerely believe that ingesting high THC cannabis occasionally is very good for ones body, getting high is a bonus! ????

    "...stand up to take a snake’s hiss..."

     

    What is a snake's hiss in this context? Never heard this expression and Google didn't help either.

    Or is it some cockney rhyming slang?

    The cockney rhyming slang for this activity is "Gypsy's Kiss"

    Are we better off ignoring the news for our own peace of mind?

    I haven't read a newspaper or a magazine for 40 years. I don't feel I've missed anything. The standard of journalism is usually deplorable. Rubbish concocted by mostly Grub Street hacks desperate to earn a few bob. Gossip, scandal, celebrity rubbish.

    I'm even cutting down on YouTube every day because of all the ridiculous self-aggrandizing, falsified or plagiarized posts. More and more nutters crawling out of the woodwork every day, particularly it seems from the USA.

    I see no reason to trust anything much I see or hear. 'There's no news like bad news' is the mantra. I have long thought that the BBC is a disgrace, gutless, and, at times, an evil institution. The BBC World Service is absurd - smarm, shiny suits, expensive frocks (presumably what their oft quoted Sony awards were presented for). Poor reporting not remotely on a par with the best of Kate Adie, John Simpson and the Man in the White Suit. Debase the educational system and this is what you get.

     

    I do glance through the headlines on the internet and I'm sorry to say that I do look at BBC Sport website every day. More rubbish usually, but it varies. Some soccer and rugby reports are good but sports in which the British can do quite well are virtually ignored, e.g. badminton.

     

    I do respect and generally trust Wikipedia, though!

    My thoughts exactly! The BBC has long ceased to be an unbiased news source with integrity.

    Saphan Hin Booster

    in Phuket

    Posted

    I have a 1pm appointment for a booster shot soon. Unfortunately I have another appointment elsewhere on the same day at 3pm.

    Does anyone know if they stick to the appointment times at Saphan Hin?

    Anyone have suggestions for indigestion?

    I am not scared of it, I don't think Zantac / Ranidine available in any form now is it? I believe there are no known cases of anyone getting cancer from Ranidine / Zantac, its only that someone realized it contains a small amount of something believed to be carconagenic. I mean I would take one pill once every three to six months so not going to hurt me. Have you purchased it recently?

      

    Not purchased any recently as I always keep a stock in the fridge. Rarely need to use it. Suggest you try a couple of pharmacies to see if it's available.

    Why does it seem that so many people here are working class?

    nope.

    "working class" consists of people who are employed in manual or industrial work.

     

    it's not directly related to money, but rare are people with money who choose to be employed in a manual labor job.

    one exception might be Forrest Gump at the end of the movie.

    "working class" consists of people who are employed in manual or industrial work. - Nonsense! If you 'work' at any job, regardless of earnings you're 'working class' because you 'worked'! Some people do like to feel superior so give themselves middle class titles.
