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.
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...
