MY EXPERIENCE AT THE CHINESE HOSPITAL IN BANGKOK...


Many are interested in Chinese medicine and rightly so.

I just want to talk to you about the Hua Chiew Hospital in Bangkok and my personal experience.

This ancestral medicine includes many fields by working on associations of a multitude of medicinal plants and also soft methods such as acupuncture for example.

The Chinese hospital Hua Chiew in Bangkok is arguably the most famous in the capital.

Located in Chinatown near a Klong it will not leave you indifferent.

When you arrive you are no longer in Thailand but in China. Everything is written in Chinese because most of the patients are from the very large Chinese colony of Bangkok.

The architecture also has a strong Chinese connotation. The hospital is dated and reminds us a little of our hospitals of the years 50. In itself this is not a problem because cleanliness is perfect.

When you arrive you go to the reception desk where you are made, as everywhere fill a sheet with the usual and classic information.

After that you take a ticket and wait right next to the reception so that one controls your height, weight and tension.
 
 
All this is pretty fast and depending on the troubles you have you are directed to one or the other floor with a consultation room number. Indeed every doctor has his speciality.
Arrived in front of the doctor the first thing he does is take your pulse. In fact it is not the number of beats per minute that interests him but it allows him to put a first diagnosis (I who came for my asthma I hear that my liver is a little bit overweight..andt it was true).
Here no stethoscop or thorough examination (at least for my asthma). The Doctor questions you, interrogation is fundamental to him, and you are sometimes surprised by questions that seem to have nothing to do with your pathology.
It's also amazing to see him taking notes in Chinese on a very small card.
After that he tells you what the treatment is going to be.
For my asthma It was a preparation based on different plants to take morning and evening for 15 days. I was a bit perplexed because having tried so many different treatments I had found nothing really effective until then.
 


Once out of the consultation room you go to the ground floor at the pharmacy. We explain to you that the preparation will be ready six hours later, everything is done at the request of the doctors, as and as.
You are surprised by the smell of plants that reign throughout the hospital, a smell unknown to us.
While waiting you can always go for a walk in the street perpendicular to the hospital where you will find at the end a assortment of delicious street food... as much to link the useful to the pleasant.
6h later I came back to the pharmacy... I forget to say that I had spent paying at the checkout before (cheap at all, around 15 euros for the whole).
At the pharmacy they give me a huge bag filled with cartons of my famous preparation (roughly the size of the cartons of bleach). The cartons are still very hot and my package imposing because there are 30 for a weight of 8 or 9kg!
In the evening I begin my treatment. I have to leave the bag in the boiling water so that it is hot and drink in one shot. The brown color did not inspire me much but the taste inspired me even less, bitter and unpleasant but I do with...
After a week I was already sleeping much better at night and breathing more freely and after two weeks my asthma had regressed by 90%. I returned to see the doctor after 2 weeks and resumed for 2 new weeks after which my asthma was gone...
 
For some other pathology you will be entitled to acupuncture, auriculotherapy and even in combination with suction cups (something that we use more in our home for a long time).
A friend was treated by acupuncture with great success.
What is funny is that you are in a room with several beds, much like the hospitals of yesteryear with curtains to separate the beds. The doctor asks you the needles and leaves you lying 30mn... a world apart.
If you suffer from any pathology do not hesitate to test Chinese medicine it is often spectacular...
