Wow, I thought they only pull this kind of scam in Siem Reap. I am curious to how much they quote for each night your wife spend at the hospital/clinic. Here is around 100USD mark or double if the building looks modern.

Had to go to Royal Angkor in Siem Reap for a leg injury this trip, what an eye opener. There were more insects in reception than patients late at night. Young American guy came in with his friend, not sure what was wrong with him but he was walking - the bill being discussed was already $1,000. Met another lady there whose brother had to stay in overnight due to dehydration - $1,300. My own bill for a consultation, X-ray and over prescribed medication was $400. I'd hate to have anything serious happen and makes you value the level of service back home even more when you read stories like these. However much flak the NHS takes it really is something to value.

Doesn't Dr. Scott practice at a local hospital part time?

Chenda Polyclinic near Wat Phnom is excellent and reasonable. That is where the US Embassy sends it's Khmer staff when they have problems. The dodtors in Cambodia can be very scary. It is worth it to go to doctors who you know are competent.

Where do the US Embassy personnel themselves go?

Khmer doctors may not be very good, but they sure can diagnose the f*ck outta appendicitis and heart attacks

Just letting you know anyone who brings foreign patients to that hospital they get a minimum 30% commission or tea money as the local calls it here...slightly less than souvenir shops when the customer makes a big purchase.

The first clinic quoted $1200 for the op and 7 nights in recovery, plus medication and other added expenses! Needless to say, didn't bother asking the other 2 once they spouted their bullshit diagnosis of appendicitis BEFORE even examining her.

Yea its hard to trust most Doctors here. I feel sorry for the locals sometimes at the pharmacies taken whatever medicines from less than 20 looking years old 'pharmacists' given them just because they wear white coat.
