Medical care is free in OZ to a certain point ,seeing a GP most are free, ,emergency services hospital treatment is free, publc hospital care is free ambulance is free to pensioners unemployed, pensioners receive all day transport passes, etc , The thing which hurts most old Aussie expats in Thailand is that health insurance they have to take out when in Australia they would get medical care free You are not a party pooper just math challenged. Since the great majority of anyone's budget is housing and that is so much cheaper in Thailand it is foolish to compare other little things without comparing a total budget.

Basically what my father did with hospice and dilaudid. My worry is turning into a vegetable before you get to the opium den. I also don't now where to find one here and the availability of pain meds open to question. I'm trying to find a doctor/hospital to partner with me to open a hospice/end of life nursing home.

The trouble you have to go through here to get just tablets with codien in them ,for something stronger, forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
