Hello Lori,

About three years ago we had her emergency airlifted to the Medistra Hospital in Jakarta. Here inYogyakarta the bleeding from her nose continued after it had been packed two times.

Medistra was recommended as one of Jakarta's best, most advanced hospitals. We found that the ENT in charge wanted to, and did the exact same procedures at those in Yogyakarta, stopping the bleeding for a short enough time to get her home on a train.

The attached photo is her being flown to Jakarta.

Here in Yogyakarta we used to go to a University hospital, Dr. Sardjito Hospital, reputed as one of Indonesia's best. It was a joke. Emergency was dirty, people were exposed to one another, some died what appeared to be unnecessarily from lack of care.

Overall, health care here is so backward, I do not believe that there is any hospital in Jakarta that would be any better than Pantih Rapih Hospital that we use now.

I have had enough experiences both with the public and private hospitals and care to write a book that would divulge some of the horrors I have witnessed the past four years.

Malaysia is considered to be pretty much up to good western standards. It is relatively close to us. I am also contacting hospitals there to see if there is some glimmer of hope that they could diagnose and control her bleeding.

Thank you so much for your reply, it is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Ron
