I'm very happy that we have doctors available who don't think so much of themselves that they believe they're always right without referring to someone more specialized and/or with better diagnostic equipment.
Thats a good point as is your very good point about specialist equipment. Back in October I was diagnosed as having conjunctavitis by Dr.P. The problem being that it had spread to my cornea and after the conjunctavitis had cleared up, it had left an ongoing problem with my cornea, which was affecting my vision.
So, I was referrred to see a cornea specialist in Bkk, as seemingly, there are none in Hua Hin. Off I went with a letter from Dr.P as it needed specialist equipment to identify what exactly the problem was (top layer of cornea had become separated from the one below). The Doctor in Bkk sent a reply to Dr.P what the diagnosis was. First, I was surprised that my tear was tested, I was told that was normal. And then I sat in front of this machine, which span around and around in front of me, as it apparantly produced a 3D image of the cornea.
Dr. P simply explained that it was impossible for a practiotoner such as he, to pay for such equipment.
Anyway, after a few ups and downs and talk of laser surgery, cornea replacement via a donor and stem cell surgery, the first two of which Dr.P had mentioned when he first referred me, things are now looking up.
