my wife told me  that 
i thought still ard $125/** ?

They will tell you within 24hrs, you can come again, they wont charge you.

$125 is only the consultation with the doctor. You also have to pay for the nurse consultation and then the medicine.

Did you see the breakdown on the receipt? 
I always ask for a copy of the breakdown on the costs.

There again referrals to do what? Specialist required will be charged more. Aesthetic treatments also no subsidies, have to pay more.

Remember that LKY had to charter a flight back to Spore when his wife got a stroke while in UK. The A&E wait should be as bad as Spore during peak period. And there is also a shortage of nurses in UK which may aggravate their problem.

NHS nurse shortages a risk to safety, says Royal College of Nursing

For Australia, recall MrSTI mentioning that ambulance cost can be damn expensive.
After googling, realised that it is indeed true.

Quote:Australia ambulance costs are typically not cheap. Whether you are a single person or have the whole family in tow, ambulance cover can help reduce stress and save money. In Victoria, emergency road transport costs $1,200 on average. However, an annual membership of just over $50 for individuals is available to those who qualify.

For SE Asia, seems to me that Thailand offers the best service and at relatively affordable price.

E.g this Thai gf of a chinese vlogger even checked herself into a private hospital in BKK just for a food poisoning.


Another case I saw was by a US Youtuber Chuck who is now retired in Thailand, with many of US frens.
Suffered a windpipe infection and went to the Hua Hin Bangkok Hospital (a private hospital).
Including a Covid test, the A&E visit with treatment and medications only cost 9000 Baht (S$345).
I would think this is just slightly more than visiting the A&E at a public hospital here.
The best thing for him is that it is fully covered by his health insurance.

9:11 onwards:


As for the less well-off local Thais, they only need to pay a mere 30 Baht at gov hospitals.

Quote:Government hospitals are focused on lower income Thai nationals rather than middle-to-upper class Thais, expats and international patients.

It is through these hospitals that Thais can claim treatment on the 30 Baht healthcare scheme put in place by former prime minister Taksin Shinawatra. A Thai person can pay a base rate of 30 Baht and it covers all treatment for that visit.

Generally speaking, these hospitals are overcrowded and have long wait times, but they do have similar expertise and medical equipment to private hospitals.

Sg even cheaper, Ah Cow’s operation and stay in 1st class hospital ward only cost $8.

You will never get any cheaper anywhere
