Patient Testimonial
Patient Undergoing Surgery for Bacterial Heart Valve Infection
“I was able to walk just one day after surgery. I feel very fortunate that my recovery has been going well, and I’m hopeful that once I return home, everything will be back to normal soon. I would give them a full 100 out of 100.”
I experienced chills during the night and would sometimes wake up drenched in sweat, with my pillow completely soaked. I initially received treatment at a hospital near my home for about one week, and then continued treatment there for another 7–8 days. During that time, the doctors were still trying to determine the cause of my fever and chills. Eventually, I was told that nothing appeared to be wrong.
At that point, I felt I could not leave things unresolved and decided to seek treatment at a better-equipped hospital that could identify the real cause and provide the right treatment. I then chose Ramkhamhaeng Hospital, where I received a diagnosis within 48 hours. One day here compared to five or six days there made a tremendous difference.
Although the diagnosis was very serious and quite shocking, I still felt reassured because the doctor explained everything very clearly. I was able to fully understand what was happening, and everything made sense. That was something I truly appreciated.
Seeing such a confident and professional medical team was very reassuring. From the very beginning, starting with the doctor who accepted my case to the specialists who were consulted afterward, everything was handled extremely quickly and efficiently. Every aspect of the care was excellent.
What impressed me the most was the close follow-up, attentiveness, and overall quality of care. The doctors checked on me every single day, and I felt genuinely reassured by the close monitoring throughout my treatment.
Of course, after undergoing open-heart surgery, the body goes through a very difficult period initially. However, I can now walk continuously for one to two hours. I was already able to walk just one day after surgery, and the following day, the doctor strongly encouraged me to get up and walk again. The nurses even mentioned that I had already been walking around for two to three days.
I feel extremely fortunate that my body has recovered so well. It gives me hope that once I return home, everything will gradually return to normal very soon. I would honestly give the hospital a perfect score of 100 out of 100.
“The pain radiated from my hip down to my leg with numbness, making daily life very difficult. After the surgery, the pain disappeared immediately.”
The pain radiated from my hip down to the tip of my leg, along with numbness, which made everyday activities quite difficult. The surgery took approximately 3 hours, followed by about 2 hours of recovery time. Immediately after the operation, the pain was gone.
At present, my condition has improved by around 90%. The remaining 10% is slight stiffness and numbness. The doctor explained that it will take some more time for the symptoms to fully improve.
There’s no need to hesitate. The doctor is highly skilled and truly trustworthy. I have always received treatment at Ramkhamhaeng Hospital, and this time I chose to be treated by a well-known specialist, which gave me great confidence in the care I received.
