Hi Chris,

Thank you for the warm welcome! I am currently seeking treatment in Singapore, a pretty small nation, with only approx 150 newly diagnosed cases of epilepsy annually. Thus, names of many types of epilepsy are still new to me (despite having had it for close to a decade). Same for names of medication, some which I had forgotten.

I went National Taiwan Univesity Hospital (NTUH) in March. An interesting thing about NTUH is them mixing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) together with western. The line for neurological medical care is clearly drawn in Singapore, where I am currently seeking treatment. And I felt since pairing that with the possibility of working with multiple pools of medical doctors from more/different departments will help my case, I decided to explore more options.

I spoke Mandarin during consultation, and communicated via email using Chinese although their International Medical Service Centre (IMSC) staff seemed pretty fluent with English. I just didn't want any misunderstanding.

Taiwanese medical care quality over there are also of high standard. I was advised to set aside at least 2 weeks for my first full consulation which will be a hospital stay. And of course, a visit once every 2-3 months thereafter. However, as a foreigner, I will have to be prepared locals will come before me for medical care due to reason none of us can predict.

Let me know if you wish to know more details! In another thread I was asked if I made a special preparation of any sort for international travel. I will share more of my travel experience there.

Cheers,
Louis
