As i did not want to wait, I request to upgrade. I immediately given an early appointment - 2 weeks time. I compare the total cost of ktph with Banrugrade Hospital (Bangkok). I received immediate medical treatment in Bangkok instead.

A admin staff walked in and told the doctor that a parent has brought her child to see him without an appointment and asked if the doctor was willing to see the patient. The doctor said okay. Then the staff whispered to the doctor, "It's a subsidized patient, not a private patient, you still want to see?"Mohamedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11749986065673447655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702093.post-78039779149735153232015-06-28T20:19:01.097+08:002015-06-28T20:19:01.097+08:00This has been a tactic that they have used for dec...This has been a tactic that they have used for decades. I encountered so many such incidents till I give up treatment. 2 months is short. I once encountered a 6 month wait to have a nuclear heart scan & just before the date of scan they called me up to postpone another 3 months as the nuclear isotope is not available. I suspect they use it for a rich private walkin patient. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
