Combined with the friendly and warm Thai hospitality, their efficiency, top of the line medical facility and equipment will leave you wondering if you’ve perhaps reached a hospital paradise.
As a staff nurse who has worked at three hospitals in the city of Chicago, a travel nurse that’s worked in hospitals across the U.S., a patient in an Emergency Room, and a visitor of friends and family members who were hospitalized, I can honestly say I have never seen anything like this in the States. So without hesitation, let me list let me list
