No doubt you have researched them all including Bumrungrad in Bangkok with it's many US board certified specialists.

First of all if you think that physicians are the only thing that make a hospital tick you're sadly mistaken.And second of all,have you ever been to Southeast Asia? I have. And while it could very well be that the hospital you mention is good by Southeast Asian standards what I've seen of that part of the world...alone....would make me *very* suspicious of *any* hospital located there.

Bumrungrad was the first Asian hospital accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI), the international arm of the organization that reviews and accredits American hospitals. Their checklist includes over 350 standards, for everything from surgical hygiene and anesthesia procedures to the systems in place to credential medical staff and nurses. JCI sends a team to re-review hospitals at 3-year intervals. Bumrungrad was first accredited in 2002 and re-accredited in 2005.

LOL. Yeah, I've lived there almost 20 years.

Well, when I lived in Calgary the 8 year old daughter of someone I know well died from a burst appendix after being sent home twice from the biggest hospital there with the standard 'take two Tylenols' type treatment. I'll leave you with your 'suspicions' of the top southeast Asia medical facilities, but it pretty clear they aren't based on any facts or research.
