    • jginnane commented : osed at BNH with stage 1 lung cancer. The doctor suggested I have the tumour excised on the Monday (5 days time) and then start chemo in Bangkok or return to Sydney if I preferred. Whilst well meaning, I would have been (probably) dead by now. It would be unfair of me to suggest that they wouldnt have picked up the spread of cancer before the operation (it was also in the lymph nodes), but what was clear was that the doctor in question was not up with latest research. Not only do they now fully remove the lung (rather than the cancer), but they also advise patients to undertake chemo prior to surgery. Latest results (albeit not conclusive)suggest a reoccurence rate 6 times earlier when surgery is the first step.

    • alex1 commented : tting sick one day, or having cancer or something else, not covered by the 30 B system you might be made responsible for the cost of medical care, some hundredthousands of baht, and thai families are big, father grandfather, grandmother, brothers, sisters, uncles, cousins. If you don't help, home, sweet home will be gone and you'll get a hard time. You'd better ask Ian, how to deal with.

    » There is an ad on Thai TV at the moment for a product that whitens your armpits. That's right. Your armpits. That's all; nothing else. You think I'm joking, but I'm not. It's an ad for a roll-on deodorant, but the main thing is not that you smell nice. Rather, your underarms will be white.

    Database, Published on 07/04/2010

    » Incredible excitement, just unbelievable anticipation, as the date approached when, for between $499 and $829 (16,200 to 26,900 baht in real money) you could not just touch a Newton II slate computer, but actually own it; Apple reportedly sold out of the second version of the tablet, now renamed to iPad, which still has no known use but seems to be set to be flying off the shelves; as noted, you are far too foreign to have one just yet.
