Going to the doctors here is an experience. It's not like going to your GP at home. You go to the hospital. I came in today because I ran out of my asthma medication and waited too long to go to the hospital to replace it (as I hate the hospital). I had two asthma attacks this week……scary but my own fault. So here I am at the hospital. They wanted me to sit in a wheelchair which I refused. I'm not dying. I have been poked, had X-rays and goodness knows what else. I really only need my asthma puffers. It's going to be a long morning. I miss my GP 😕. At the moment I'm in the pulmonary health clinic. Lesson learnt – do not run out of asthma medication in Bangkok.
