Just make sure he settles somewhere near a quality hospital so he can get decent care if or when needed? It really does exist here, but you sometimes need to search a bit for it... I think it can be as much the doctor you see as the hospital. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... you are right, Gary. I should have stated that thought a bit differently. The doctors - and nurses - make all the difference in the world! I guess I was thinking about having the good hospital nearby so that the best equipment is available. Some of these "hospitals" don't have up-to-date devices that could be life savers.

There is so much positive news out there regarding their hospital systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much positive news out there regarding their hospital systems. From what I have been reading on other threads here, it sounds like Thailand is becoming a bit less friendly to foreigners living there? I have heard from friends that Malaysia and Taiwan have great medical care and cater to "medical tourism." However, I have received excellent care before in Manila at St. Lukes Medical Center in Bonifacio, Manila and a friend had excellent care at the Asian Hospital Medical Center. Others here have mentioned that there is high quality care also available in Cebu. If it were me, I would be looking for quality of life, costs, and quality of care - in that order... Perhaps I am wrong, but I think all of those can be satisfied here? Anyway...up to Baston and his close friend. I just hope it all works out well for his buddy...

Back in the old country I worked in the jails, then the schools (and learned why the jails were so full ha ha). We all just stayed sick all the time, but not bad. Here, my fevers are worse, and a cough will last me a month. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had coughs last for at least a month - L also. I never had that before in USA, even in Seattle where it is often cold and damp. I also don't get sick often here, but when I do, it is nasty. That's why I got the flu shot and why I will get the pneumonia shot in a couple of weeks. Maybe they will help? Maybe they won't. But psychologically, they may help...?

It might not help the cough, but perhaps you will feel better? (just kidding) I'm sure if one of us could find a cure, we would become billionaires overnight!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
