Shit!!! sorry you are having a rough trot health wise. I hope she is being kept comfortable and cared for.AndyKK wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 7:03 pmMy lady who stode by me when I couldn't piss. Had become sick after my return. I took her to a doctor whom totally misdiagnosed her condition.The Suk Straggler wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 6:20 pmJerry Atrick wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 6:09 pm Well, you could pay for a full battery of blood work, piss and crap sampling and sputum testing and get the results interpreted by a real doctor.
Or not.
But you'd certainly know if she is sick or not.
That sounds expensive. I would do it if I thought she was sick. I'm worried if I take her to the doctor every time she wants to go to a doctor I will be broke.
Then seeking a little more help we managed to get her seen by a certified doctor whom studied and qualified overseas.
The full tests your talking about cost me $100. I won't go into detail but it wasn't good news. Resulting that she would be lucky to see the year out.
I could give it a try on recommendation for her to go to Singapore for a major operation at the cost of $100,000+ with slim to little chance.

Why would one see a doctor when you can stand outside a pharmacy with all the other hypochondriacs and get some red pills, some yellow pills , a few white ones and anything else the assistant in the pharmacy thinks you need. You should also keep a few extra's in case the six month old baby in the family has a runny nose . Just crush them all up together and mix with honey and if necessary force it down baby's throat.
I have done such a good job of explaining about medicines and antibiotics to my kids, I now have a problem in getting them to take worm tablets.

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.

You likely need an IV.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 6:41 pm Yeah OP I think you're onto something there re khmer affliction for this..
Mrs Cargo makes a huge deal out of any minor ailment she has. And more, when I get sick with something basic like a cold or something she's always trying to rush me off to the doctor. Gotta luv that tho..

My ex was just the same. Every other day there would be a new complaint, none of which materialised into anything. At first I showed concern (being a trusting and caring soul) but after about a month I got bored of hearing about all it all the time.
I then decided to make a joke about it, by asking each morning what part of her body hurts today. She eventually got the joke (I think) but didn't get the hint.
I just got so bored with it all and when we parted it came as a huge relief that I didn't have to listen to it anymore.

They are hypochondriacs, they also think that pills are like magics.
If you're sick then take medicines and everything's fine.
Liver Cancer ?
- Let get a new one in India.
- What about stopping alcohol ?
- Nah, can buy new liver anytime.

Unable to comprehend that a high salt, sugar, MSG and carbohydrate diet might be making you sick.
Re: Are most Cambodians hypochondriacs?
Most Cambodians have little understanding of medical conditions. So they often go to the doctor for trivial things. When they have serious medical conditions, they sometimes dont do much about it.
You may notice in the death notices, what people die of. I remember one person died of fainting. You see a lot of other funny ones. These are people providing information to the media. You would think they would get someone who knows what they are talking about.
