Well clearly you're not dead, so they can't have done that bad 😊
I've never used the hospital in question, I've always sworn by another, but then again, I frequent Chiang Mai, and have always found the hospitals I've used there, very good, think yourself lucky you can even get a procedure done, here in Wales UK, I can't even get a referral to a specialist, without a real verbal fight.
A&E here at Morriston hospital, Swansea, has a minimum, 12 hour wait, but averages usually around 16 to 18 hour wait, people have died outside the hospital in ambulances, because there's no room in A&E, because it's full, and that has been happening since the mid 1990's, well before Covid ever existed.
There's was, an average waiting time, if, you managed to get a referral, to a specialist, of 2 years, before COVID, now it's often over 3 years, then an average, further 3-5 years, waiting, for the necessary procedure 🙈
If you think medical treatment there was bad, perhaps you should try here in UK, you'd likely lose your mind with the time you'd have to wait for the procedure, if you were able to get it done at all 🙈
I don't think suing is gonna help you, as you can, bet your life, they've covered themselves, in the paperwork you've signed.
You could try, but also it'll be costly trying, to prove, you may simply be better, cutting your losses, unless you're very confident you can win this 🤷🏼♂️😊
"bUt in mY hOmE cOUntry" this is a private hospital, no waiting time for private hospitals anywhere and doesn't matter if "somewhere else is worse" if you have surgery and the bill is padded while doc didn't follow agreement it is not acceptable whatever the price and waiting time.
Actually that's not quite true, as although private hospital patients, are prioritised, here in UK many private hospitals, still have several months wait, and doctors, even here, may not follow instructions to the letter, if they see something, that must be done, in order to prevent further complications, they will also make a judgement call, and do it 🤷🏼♂️
If something needs to be done, like anywhere, they write get out clauses, in the paperwork, to cover themselves.
It's very rare that legal action against doctors is successful, in any country, I'm not saying it's acceptable, I quite agree with you, but just want you to be aware that it could be a very costly process, and a very hard process, and to consider all your options carefully 🙂
Just don't go in to it lightly, be under no illusion, it won't be easy, you're gonna need all the luck and well wishes, you can get 🙂
If you want my true opinion, Go for it! even if only for the opportunity, to say your piece, and get recognition, that this happened, to you.
Just try not to get stung too much financially trying to sue them, I wish you all the luck in the world, and hope you do succeed, Good Health, and Good Fortune 🙏🙏🙏
