hobobo Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 10 hours ago, Psimbo said: Negligence? A lot depends on the definition of a 'broken' neck. A hairline fracture can be difficult to detect, especially straight after an injury, where swelling has occurred. If this had been a serious break he would have been paralysed and not continued on for 3 months. I also notice that the original incident happened in 2015 so not exactly life-threatening but the timeline post injury is a bit lacking in the report. Far easier to bash a hospital than actually be aware of the circumstances though. The source of this article is The Daily Mail- any Brit will be able to tell you that they love articles which get people frothing about 'Jonny Foreigner'. To me this speaks volumes. Mr Frolov is now suing Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust for not carrying out an X-ray and has hired a legal firm who specializes in negligence to take up his case. And maybe his lawyer Sue Jackson works for Ambulance Chasers and Partners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prescribed drugs came from a hospital in England. But ... but ... Farang Land always good, Thailand always bad. 13 hours ago, webfact said: He was then transferred to Tunbridge Wells Hospital who sent him home with painkillers 13 hours ago, ezzra said: The irony is that, even that paracetamol is locally made and sourly lacking the qualities "sourly?" Maybe he thinks Tunbridge Wells is located in Phuket. Sort of illustrates the typical knee-jerk response of the Thai bashing fraternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shy coconut Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 9 hours ago, Donut21 said: Not surprised, Back in 2013 I went to a hospital in BKK with a pain in my right leg only to be sent away with some pain killers and a bill for 3000 Baht.. One week later in serious pain I managed to get home to the UK where I went to my local hospital. I was found to have Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS). 6 months flat on my back. Never go a hospital in Thailand. GBS is an extremely rare condition, afflicting less than one in 100,000. The symptoms are not immediately obvious on presentation and I am not surprised that there may have been a mistaken diagnosis, especially given the cultural and linguistic differences. I am happy that you survived to tell the tale and 6 months incapacitated sounds nasty, but I wouldn't avoid visiting a Thai hospital purely on account of your sorry tale.

"I was in daily pain and the only pain relief I had was paracetamol and co-codamol.” There is no mention of prescribed medication given in Phuket, even though he had an X ray there. However, the Tunbridge Wells hospital sent him home with the above drugs and no X ray. Who was negligent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustdevil Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 All I know is, if I'm injured or unusually ill in BKK, I'll go straight to Bumrungrad Hospital, which is supposed to be the best one in Southeast Asia. Probably better than all the public ones in Japan as well. (Yes--from experience and that of colleagues.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, the medicine for cancer is the same as used in Bangkok International, or other recommended hospitals in the world. And concerning accommodation and service I can't a find a better one than one of the best Thai Hospitals. But sure you will have to pay a horrible price in YOUR hospital though it's nice to eat from real china or have finest night gowns or 24h movies......

wayned Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 If he had been in the US they would have definitely caught the problem and fixed it and might have convinced him that he needed open heart surgery also. He would have had to mortgage his house to pay the bills, a very expensive house would be required, and now would be a drug addict with all the opioids that they had prescribed.
