Wife was quite sick a few years ago and the hospital doc (with an obviously huge ego) called the surgeon for an emergency appendectomy. They had her on the gurney when I pulled her off and took her home. She didn't have the same symptoms friends had with appendix problems in the past. The next day, our usual doc, fellow from Ohio, redid the blood work and said it was likely the flu, which it was. He said we did the right thing leaving the hospital when we did. You have to very careful with medical care in Thailand, because no one else will be.
