Re: Prices for Oxy and other meds + surgery

I come from the UK and operation cost's are free on the national health service, with our NI contribution. But we do have a small prescription charge on per item of medicines. I can understand you getting frustrated when you can't get something done, but what about, like us the option of private he...

Double the price of Bangkok hospital though...
I don't quite understand.
Your man said PP hospital is Bangkok hospital, so what exactly is double the price of Bangkok hospital?

Re: Prices for Oxy and other meds + surgery

OP have you looked into India? Lots of people are going there now for excellent health treatments. Well, I have a little, actually. It wouldn't be my first choice, but it's cheap enough and it appears as though meds are also available and affordable. I noticed there were a lot of articles online ab...

Re: Prices for Oxy and other meds + surgery

Yes, the Royal Phnom Penh is part of the Bangkok Hospital group (as in Bumrungrad now). They do have some good doctors, I can vouch for the Thai uroologist and the Burmese obs/gyne surgeons, and a Thai radiologist. I would not be happy to just accept anyone there without a solid prior recco, howeve...

Re: Prices for Oxy and other meds + surgery

CBD oil and other medicinal cannabis medications are now easily available anywhere in Australia via a Tele-health (telephone) consultation. Things have changed radically in the past 12 months.

Re: Prices for Oxy and other meds + surgery

Thanks for the replies. * Retired Sailor - When you say, "bring my script," I assume you mean the medication, or do you just mean the paperwork? The law for prescribing S8 meds changed here in 2020. The last time I went to Korea in 2018, I took 3 months worth of everything I required. Now,...

Re: Prices for Oxy and other meds + surgery

Sorry. I've seen people suggest going to Thailand to source it, but I've read a hell of a lot of stuff about Thailand being incredibly anti-narcotic and pushing very severe punishments for those caught. What about Vietnam? If it was located, is bringing it over the border a big thing? How about visi...

Prices for Oxy and other meds + surgery

Hia. I have had a look through the search feature, and most of the info I found was either incomplete or outdated. I sent a detailed email to Ucare with a list of meds I'll be needing, and I received a reply containing the prices for some basic medications, however, there were several things they le...
