3/5 Paul S. 6 years ago on Google
I
had
a
small
but
deep
cut
on
my
shin
(1.5cm)
for
about
a
week
and
kept
surfing.
It
ended
up
getting
badly
infected
so
I
went
to
the
clinic.
The
Dr
there
gave
me
a
local
anaesthetic,
cleaned
the
wound
and
put
in
3
stitches.
The
staff
there
were
very
friendly.
The
cost
of
the
local,
clean
and
stitches
cost
400k
and
with
the
antibotics(oral
and
topical)
pain
killers
and
anti
inflammatories
it
came
to
997k
with
a
free
follow
up
consultation.
I've
attached
the
bill
for
reference.
Unfortunately
after
no
improvement
in
3
days
I
flew
to
Bali
and
went
to
the
hospital
there.
First
thing
they
did
was
remove
the
stitches
and
find
more
puss.
They
put
me
on
IV
antibiotics.
Apparently
an
infected
wound
should
not
be
stitched
but
dressed
and
left
to
drain
until
the
infection
clears.
I
believe
the
staff
here
acted
with
the
best
intentions
but
prehaps
lack
some
medical
knowledge,
for
more
serious
issues
I
would
seek
a
2nd
opinion
in
Mataram
or
Bali.
It
is
also
worth
contacting
your
insurance
company
as
they
have
preferred
hospitals
to
make
the
claim
process
easier.
Look
after
you
cuts
if
you
are
spending
a
lot
of
time
in
the
water,
apparently
infections
like
this
are
quite
common
here
and
can
put
a
dampener
on
your
holiday.
