BLOOD TESTS and the like

[Big Boy]

As for a clinic..the one Dtaai-Maai suggested is good..have used them before..quick & efficient.

I've e-mailed them about a specific blood test, and they haven't even had the courtesy to reply.

Not sure how long you have been waiting, BB, but they do not large staff...Why not give them a call on 032 534935... Speak English ok.

No, I'm not going to chase them. I'm personally quite happy with the services of Petcharat Hospital. I have to go there anyway. The e-mail was for my wife, who didn't really want to travel for the test (it means a very early start in the morning). She can have her test done the next time I go to Petcharat.

Our GP in Hua Hin has already told my wife the test isn't available locally, but seeing the recommendation above, I thought that I'd ask. They're probably still looking up what the test is

Went in and had the standard blood checkup and blood group test on Wednesday, got the results today. Cost 850 baht, very professional service.

I am not sure why weight measuring and blood pressure checking is un-neccessary. If you happened to be in a hospital you may have a problem of which you are not aware (fever or irregular blood pressure, for example). Detecting those is important for the doctors, determination of treatment, procedures, drugs etc. I do regular check-up when I am in Hua Hin, but I never felt offended by these measurements. I don't think you will save much if you insist on not doing them.

Measurement of blood pressure is essential to the diagnosis and monitoring the treatment of hypertension. If we can measure the pressure at home can be useful information. Physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of quite. You can request that the hospital staff will measure your blood pressure at any time.

I've no idea what a standard blood checkup is at this lab or in Thailand. I'd guess CBC and Chem-7 but T.I.T. so I wouldn't bet on it. Would you care to list the tests and prices individually? If so I'll list the prices for the EENT doc on soi 55/1.

Here you go ...

I also had my blood group checked since I've never known what it is.

Being a betting man, I'll say O+ Pete

[buksida]

I'll take that bet, it is O negative!

I'll take that bet, it is O negative!

Wow, that is quite rare. My Dad was also. Keep it under your hat or the hospitals will be calling you for a donation quite frequently. Nothing wrong with that, but I remember my Dad being called regularly.

I'll try to find some graphs/charts in the morning showing % of population by type. Pete

This is the split for the UK, and whilst O+ and A+ are the most common in all countries, the other groups vary quite a bit (in overall % terms).

O+ A+ B+ AB+ O− A− B− AB−
37% 35% 8% 3% 7% 7% 2% 1%

With the above "check up" chart I'm surprised the most common diseases aren't checked for. Hepatitis A, B, C...Syphilis and HIV. I guess they're extra, at extra cost. Pete
