Beware the Cambodian hospital crud.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Beware the Cambodian hospital crud.

Post by newkidontheblock »

Went with missus yesterday morning to visit the military hospital and Calamette. Vaguely remembered missus saying I should wear a mask before entering. I didn’t, I regretted it.

The hospital crud hit me starting early afternoon. Weakness, dizziness, loss of appetite, etc. worst part was the paralysis. At certain times my body would just refuse to move, all frozen. It took the tears of missus to break me out of that.

Ever since then, been living on flu medicine, tiger balm, rice soup, tears, and lots of sleep. Hotel called a few times.

Now feeling better. Might have a go at the to do list again later today.

Bottom line. Whatever is crud is at the Cambodian hospitals is no fun. I should have worn my mask before going to the hospital. Maybe an N95. Maybe a gas mask.

Stay safe, everyone.

Pigeon shit killed two people at a hospital in Glasgow. There's a reason the Victorians preferred to stay in their own beds:

Yes, both hospitals mentioned are pretty bad, but I don't think you contacted anything there that's making you feel sick now. It's simply too fast.

It's highly unlikely it's the crud. You wrote your story about 20 hours after your visit, being ill for hours. Influenza takes 24-72 hours to develop from the moment of infection.

Hey kid,,, I can read between the lines. Your wife is not happy with married life and she is trying to poison you. Change your will today.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!
