If you attend a general clinic or an emergency room with 200 commoners, you may wait a long time in a crowd, in Boston or London. I once had a long wait at RAM 1, and got 800 baht of worthless advice from a specialist. For my last stroke; without an appointment, I was 8th in the queue to see the professor at Sripat. I paid total of 300 baht for good, clean  care, plus the medicine was not overpriced. The nurses speak medical English.

omg,  you had to wait with "commoners".   how terribly awful for you. what is the world coming to

I meant the 'commoners' born around Boston and London.

Anyway, the waiting room is more crowded than at Chiang Mai Ram.  But it is really rare (maybe once), in my experience, that I had to wait a long time (more than 20 minutes).  Isn't that pretty fast?  Bored?  Take a magazine!

The name of the clinic has been changed to the Sriphat Medical Center to identify the actual name of the building with the clinic.

Otherwise, I ran into a guy who just had hip replacement surgery there.  He couldn't be happier. He could have had the same thing done by the same surgeon at Chiang Mai Ram.  The difference?  Cost.
