Vachira Phuket Hospital

1 Daniel Lavazzo - 4 months ago

Just another heartbreaking and jaw dropping experience at another Phuket hospital.

We were actually on our way to the hospital for a scheduled endoscopy for my girlfriend that we waited months for (an entirely different story).

On the way my girlfriend had a serious panic attack of which she has extensive medical history on - we had to call an ambulance from the side of the road.

Upon arrival, we saw no doctor, but were given sugar packets and informed that all her vitals were low. They told her to go to the cashier when she feels better. No doctor.

The LEAST of diligent doctors would have given her enough attention to learn of her extensive medical history with anxiety and, primarily, her gastrointestinal history. Nothing.

So, in the end, she missed her opportunity for a much needed and long awaited endoscopy, was given no exam, no reliable diagnosis, no medicine, no consultation - nothing.

We have been together a long time - she cries from pain and suffering and worry. But no one will help her. It truly is remarkable, and heartbreaking.

And eye opening.

This hospital it’s for locale Thai people, it’s overcrowded. But the people get very good help here. The doctor’s are very professionals. So you farang people us the private hospitals and pay for it, and don’t make problems for the Thai people some need this hospital alone.

The main hospital in Phuket.

It is typical government hospital. It will take hours waiting before seeing a doctor. Some staffs are really helpful but some are terrible.

Tips: avoid an old nurse lady. They always are aggressive. They yell at everybody even an innocent old patient (I saw it happens very often)

Because ton of people go there every day so doctor need to diagnose very fast. Sometimes, it seems that they see nothing and then give you medicine. Not even touch. Like a magic ????????

They now have a new building for foreigners. It is better to go there directly because most staffs cannot speak English very well.

The worst place I've been in my entire life! I broke my leg and unfortunately had to stay there for 2 nights until my wife managed to fly me back home. Hospital staff treated me and my wife horribly. They were only interested in money and wanted us to go private. I had insurance and agent was appointed to deal with the hospital and even the agent was extremely rude and came to ask me for money as they claimed the excess needs to be paid even tho my wife has already paid it.
Pray not to ever end up there and if you do pray to god that you do not need to stay for long!

Absolutely terrible experience with the staff at this hospital.

Unfriendly, unwilling and uncompasioate.

My mother passed away and was transported here, I asked to see her body as soon as I arrived as I flew in to Phuket from Rayong.
I was told I could not see her until the doctor arrived again next Tuesday..
Once the doctor arrived I learned that no preparation had been done and the body had just been sat in the refrigerator for the past 4 days...so what would the difference have been seeing her Saturday? It would have helped ease my pain seeing her but instead I suffered all weekend wanting to let her know I was there.

When asking the unfriendly manager downstairs in the international department , all I recived were cold uncaring answers. Really could not have been any less compassionate and understanding than that woman.

Once transporting my mother's body out of the hospital, the mortuary staff carrying her were laughing and joking around whilst I watched my mother's corpse loading into the back of a truck. I know it is not there mother and they are not grieving but they could at lease have the courtesy to show a small amount of respect...
From what was already the most painful experience I have had in my life and still going through, I can say this hospital did nothing in any way to make thing easier and more comfortable for me.
Absolute discrace.

I hope you never have to go through what you put me through
