In this episode I share my recent medical scare I experienced while in Thailand, highlighting the importance of health awareness and prompt medical attention, especially when abroad. I discuss my alarming symptoms related to a pre-existing eye condition and the steps taken to address the situation while away from my home country. It all started after I sensed that blood was seeping into my eye while in Bangkok, leading to an urgent medical consultation. I recount my experience at a very prestigious Thai hospital, the amazing  high level of care, advanced medical equipment, and the expertise of a retinologist who treated me. Despite dealing with ongoing symptoms like blurriness and floaters the prognosis is highly positive. The medical care was as good or better to any I might have received in the United States. I wanted to praise the efficiency of the Thai medical system. This video serves as a crucial reminder for travelers to be vigilant about their health and the options available for medical emergencies abroad. Before embarking on any foreign adventures, take time to research the medical system and evaluate any ongoing health issues you might have that may need to be dealt with overseas. Put together a list of hospitals and doctors you may want to treat you. If you have any friends or associates in that country, discuss potential medical issues in advance. That way you can avoid the panic and uncertainty that I felt, until I connected with my Thai network and they led me in the right direction.
