Well poor Deb has been having some trouble with her toe since we were in Laos. The handsome Aussie men we met (who also happen to be med students) suggested a trip to the doctor in Thailand because it is an in grown toenail.
So after much nagging from me, off we went to the hospital in Chiang Rai (which is very nice). We got there at 11:20am, saw the doctor within 20 minutes and she was told that she had to have surgery and he could see her that day at 1pm. So we went to the hospital cafeteria had some lunch, went back upstairs to the operating room and within 20 minutes she was under the knife. They froze her toe, cut her nail off and wrapped her up and send her on her way with some antibiotics and pain killers. We were out of there by 1:50pm. If we were in Canada we would still have been waiting to see a doctor.
The entire thing (meds included) cost her just under $45. Not bad...
