It's great to see you on here discussing the shaping of your new hospital facility. It's brilliant to see that you're taking an interest in what patients want.
Ambulance Service --- Our Ambulances are called Mobile Intensive care units and the equipment and staff are excellent--De Fibs and Cardiac monitors are carried. Two MICUs have been ordered for HH.
As such staff don't currently exist in existing Hua Hin hospitals, are you bringing trained staff with you, or will you be training local people?
RESPONSE:
Adressing Duans letter as it contains several important points.
The Drs that come to HH will be Drs who have worked in the BKK hospital, generally we have few complaints about communication with the Drs, their English is excellent. Additionaly in BKK we have a large number of translators/interpreters and although this will not be as extensive as in BKK we will be able to help patients in many other languages.
The Emergency department will be staffed by fully trained Emergency Doctors, not generalists or GPs, by specialist ER Drs. The Ambulances will be first class and more importantly so will be the crew that staff them.
Cardiology, yes there will be Cardiologists on staff, full time. They will have sophisticated equipment to assess and diagnose cardiac problems, but this will be in stage 2 in the spring of 2011. During the first stage the ER will be able to diagnose and stabilize any patient with a heart condition.
This morning I attended a staff meeting i BKK and gave a detailed report about the feedback that I had at the Rotary from the valuable feedback from HHAD posters.
Is there a health insurance scheme that is geared towards the BKK group of hospitals only, unlike BUPA who target all hospitals I believe? If so where can I get this information?
Is this the same hospital, came across this whilst looking for BKK insurance?

Without questioning the quality of The Bangkok Hospitals (because they are good) taking a health insurance scheme that only covers one group of hospitals sounds a little bit dangerous for me. Are you allways in the neighbourhood of one of their facilities? What happens if for example you get an illness and you find out that another hospital is much better treating this? Why not take a health care insurance that gives you absolute freedom in hospital choice?

Your gonna get shafted if your not a sponsor
Understand your reasoning though

Answers to questions about Imaging equipment.
Remember Phase 1 --Emergency Department open
Phase 2 -Out patient Clinics open
Phase 3 - Full Hospital services with IN-patient beds.
Phase 1 which we hope will open in November -- we plan for a 64 slice CT scanner will be operational
Phase 2 -- We plan fora MRI scanner and Mammogram to be operational
That sound great! Those are certainly services we can use. Personally, my wife and I are looking forward to having you here, giving us a choice between driving all the way to Bangkok or using Bangkok Hospital locally.
One question; will we be able to use the outpatient clinic to have things like cholesterol checks, PSA testing and stuff we would normally see our GP for?
San Paulo Hospital run a scheme called Neighbours Health Care ??? I gather you have to ask for this ????? it was not mentioned when I have my rabies injections !!!!

Likewise services covering intestinal/gut/digestive disorders such as Crohn's, dysbiosis, 'leaky gut', etc..
Will you have a lab that can test for heavy metals, food sensitivities/allergy, stool analysis?
