My
husband
got
treated
for
food
poisoning
at
Balimed.
We
found
the
hospital
based
on
online
reviews.
The
test
came
back
pretty
quick,
we
had
a
blood
test,
stool
test,
x2
dr
visits
and
the
cost
equates
to
£120.
We
were
given
5
days
of
antibiotics
and
some
rehydration
sachets.
However,
I
found
the
nurses
there
not
very
good
with
cannula
insertions.
They
tried
to
cannulate
on
his
left
hand,
and
inserted
the
IV
drip
even
though
there
is
no
flash
back
of
blood
from
the
cannula.
This
normally
indicates
the
cannula
is
not
in
the
right
place,
of
course
the
site
above
the
cannula
immediately
swell
up
and
I
had
to
stop
the
drip
and
ask
them
to
re
cannulate.
There
was
no
apology
and
the
nurse
looked
a
bit
dazed
when
it
happened.
My
husband
also
had
the
shakes
and
passed
out
for
about
20
seconds,
they
doctors
didn't
seem
to
be
bothered
and
kept
asking
me
if
he
is
needle
phobic
after
I
said
NO
multiple
times.
The
2nd
nurse
tried
to
cannulate
on
his
right
wrist,
my
husband
immediately
felt
a
sharp
pain
down
his
knuckle
and
we
asked
them
to
stop
and
withdrew
the
cannula,
but
they
kept
prodding
which
made
the
pain
worse.
This
happened
on
the
23rd
of
June
and
now
he
still
experiences
sharp
pain
on
his
right
hand
when
he
flexes
his
thumb
or
just
shakes
his
hand....
Eventually
they
managed
to
cannulate
on
the
right
ACF
where
we
originally
asked
them
to,
because
the
vein
of
visible
and
easy
to
cannulate.
After
the
1st
bag
of
IV
drips
finished
(500mls),
I
was
rushed
to
pay
the
bill
which
is
fine.
But
they
have
immediately
disconnect
the
2nd
bag
when
it
just
got
connected
5
minutes
before
I
left
the
room
to
pay
the
bill.
The
cashier
fell
asleep
behind
the
counter
and
didn't
wake
up
until
her
colleague
woke
her
up
an
hour
later
after
seeing
me
wondering
around
in
the
lobby.
Overall,
I
wouldn't
go
back
to
Bali
med
karangasem
and
wouldn't
recommend
either.
I
hope
no
one
gets
ill
during
their
holiday
in
bali
and
that
everyone
is
covered
with
travel
health
insurance.
