Good morning

this is now my second hospitalisation in Vietnam.
Care to share your experiences and the cost?

* 8 days, 14,5 M with the room being  s a i d  to be ~ 625 k, but my room mate had to tick "750 k". Foreigners must stay in those luxury rooms...

THANH HOA CITY Provincial Hospital.

One concern: them demanding 20,000.000 d prepayment for the amputation of a toe.
It feels like double pricing

You had a rough week.  Lopping of digits, looking for maggots for medical procedures and the police stole your previously stolen scooter?  Hope next week goes better.

Cheers - it had "disappeared" and I jumped to the conclusion, that it must have been stolen. Yesterday, I saw it in a Police parking lot.
