Thread: A hospital visit.

1)Aeronide inhaler contains Budesonide anabolic steroid asthma relief

2)Codepect , Rolar - some sort of codeine

3)Basatin - anti-bacterial combination drug

4)Nuelin - contains theophylline a bronchodilator to widen the lung air passages

5)Prednisolone - anti-inflamatory

6)Meptin - perhaps another broncodilator, couldn't really identify.

7) a syringe injected at the hospital, unidentified

8)X-ray of chest, which presumably precipitated this drug windfall.

Total cost 1,200 Baht. Cheap enough I guess, but one has to question whether they really are all necessary, or effective.

The problem a cough and a feeling of tiredness.

My point is whether this avalanche of pills is the default for any Thai person accompanied by a farang, as my wife noticed a scribbled note to this effect on the slip of paper that the nurse took to the pharmacy counter from the doctor.

Why is the fact she was with a farang relevant?

This is a supposedly reputable hospital, but I always leave with that uneasy feeilling ( deliberate ) I've been had.
