Bumrungrad Hospital, Bangkok Thailand is Joint Commission International Accredited.

Mr. Mark Tickles the Doctor Over a Cat Scan and a funny Cat story after that. Mark wrote that he had been to see Dr. T., his chemotherapy doctor at Horizon Cancer Center, Bumrungrad Hospital, Bangkok. The doctor suggested Mark get another CAT scan to see if the liver tumors are responding to chemo, whether the esophageal tumor is still gone, and what else may be happening in his body. Mark fears bad news and often postpones tests due to this. Mark says he told Dr. T. that he wanted to wait until his mom came to Thailand on April 11th and he would ask her to give him a CAT scan for his birthday present. Mark says that this struck Dr. T. as funny and he laughed so hard that the nurses came and shut the office door. He says Dr. T. pretended to listen to his lungs, but was laughing so hard he could not have heard anything.
