Can anyone recommend a Doctor (British or American Nationality preferably) in Doha please?

marcela I had a similar problem an saw a visiting doc from usa,was a blessing, he will be here until end of dec 5723527

I received your e-mail, KC, for which I also thank you - very kind of you to take the time to send me some hints and suggestions.

Could be a pinched nerve or a nerve that is growing in the wrong direction or altnernatively could be a nerve virus.

physio or chiro wont do any good other than to help you bear the pain

X-ray wouldnt show anything. Get a CT scan, the one with high color contrast. Get a nerve test.

Consultants at Hamad Hospital are usually the most reliable. You might need to check with Al Emadi hospital for visitng consultants. Usually they get good doctors as well.

Eventually, you might have to do physiotherapy and to the best of my knowledge, Hamad Hospital is the best equiped and having the best qualified physiotherapists.

Get well.

I'm keeping a note of all these phone numbers! Cheers.

aspetar- its a new sports meical hospital next to sport city/khalifa stadium. they have excelent doctors, from italy, australia etc.

physio therapists are british, australian and a few arabic(moroccan, alger. tunis)

give them a call on 413 2000

you need to register first so bring id/passport...

if emergency they give u appointment very fast...not waiting 4 hrs eg. hamad hospital..

good luck

goodness, gracous me! whatever next?

hope u can make it to super sergeon

Corne a dental assistant ? Is it ur "pick on Corne" day ? Seriously, on the other thread and now this ? Or is this ur way of joking ? I really don't know. Anyhow, no I'm not a dental assistant, I'm a doctor-to-be...hopefully a surgeon but never know.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

that we had been called out to rescue after he was hit by a car and when we picked him up he was in absolute agony, so he plunged his teeth into my arm.... no worries, it's par for the course... a hasard in the type of job we do...

and it happened exactly a month ago... so I am all healed now....

But seriously Jauntie...you won't go wrong with the American Hospital...

Y dont u try them

1-Cornellian (dental asistant)

2-Booo (great cardiologist)

lol

I didn't know you'd been injured in a dog fight! I DO hope you are OK!! Bit of a frightening experience for you :(

American hospital is really good, just came back from the 2nd of my Tetnus shots after the dog bite.... the Egyptian doctor that attended to me when I went in for the stiches is wonderful.. and he has done such a good job on my arm... I think the scarring will be minimal...

Also, you don't have to sit for hours like at Hamad... treatment might be good, but really its a circus there with hundreds of people in the queue before you...

In 1979 the first students to attend the new medical school there took their final exams.

The pass rate was 100%

My dentist is Greek

didn't you read what I said? My doc in UK is either Indian or Pakistani!!! My previous docs were English and Chinese. I just find native English speakers sometimes easier to understand, that was all.

I don't feel well - quit upsetting me any further! grrrrrr

What happend to docs of paki or indian origin or arab origin>

I used to go long time back when i was getting the same neck sprain

now no more thanks to them

I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here

Than a whole truck load when I'm gone

and may i add #3 is going to the chiropractor does not solve yr condition it is just a temp solution

That's why I wanted to start by seeing a 'regular' Doctor and see which discipline in the Medical World they recommend me to.

I think I'm going through an 'I'm worried about me' stage today. Ever since I tried to play squash the other day (when for no apparent reason my left ankle swelled up and I couldnt stand on it) my ankles have been swelling up. I keep thinking heart problems. I gotta shake myself up and get out of this mood!

gotta love Babel translation site!

You apparently said:

"The mother of the mines, those strong hands of the Italians, fortifying your thorn, must be bouncers".

Did you mean: Those Mother diggers of Italian gropers with the horn are after my titties? ROFL

La madre delle miniere, quelle mani forti degli italiani, fortificanti la vostra spina, deve essere bouncers.

Just collecting all, or any more, advice and stuff on here before I embark on a full scale assault on the Medics of Doha! :D

Did you call the 2 numbers i gave you

or call 180 and ask for the numbers of the above 2 clinics

I already worked with Italians, and their hand actions speak louder than their words! ;D

Jauntie

My Confession booth is open for your urging pain of accents.

The Red Pope of Qatar Living

My own doctor in UK is Asian! And before I moved to that practice my doctor, although she was English, was married to a doctor from Hong Kong and I saw him occasionally too (although I sometimes had a problem understanding his accented English).

I guess I made the comment about British or American because I'm used to their 'accent' :D

American hospital is just a name they have all asian doctors and staff

But I don't think there's a problem with my spine. I have a numb area just below my neck and although it's numb it sometimes itches and tingles if clothing is against it! Of course, scratching doesn't work to relieve the itch because the area is numb! But then there's this sharp pain which is AWFUL. Last time it went like this, if I was lying down I couldn't get up unless hub pulled me up by my arms, because to try to lift my head and shoulder off the pillow/arm of sofa was just too painful! Darn my aging body :P

Sorry to talk aches and pains, but it's sort of getting me down now because of how long it's been going on.

Specialises in Vertebrae?

I googled it and on looking at ONE site (haven't checked thoroughly) it looked like what an Orthopedic person would do i.e. crack the bones into place - or is it like acupuncture ....

Will check into it further, but thanks for the phone numbers TCOM

lol... AL Meera vegetables :D well let me check if we've delivered any vegetables this morning to AL MEERA :P Last time I got an injection on the back of my right hand. It's "blessing" The pain melt away very quickly. I can see clearly dear jauntie what you're going through. I hope I can help more. What about a massage ? :DD

t_coffee salam budy. ....Were you there last thursday ? Orions ?

lol It's just the way I feel :D I told one guy : plz let me have my coffee , then we'll talk lol

What's a chrio pra - what you said! lol

I just didn't know quite where to start! I suppose a 4 hour wait in Hammad Hospital is the only answer?

I bought some ibuprofen (anti inflammatory) they worked last time (a couple of months ago) but they don't seem to be doing the business this time. Chemist suggested some Vitamin B+ she sells, which she says is for 'nerve pains'. Worth a try. That and eat Al Meera out of vegetables? :D

You will need a Chriopratician

try Doha Chiropratic Center 4650012 or

American Chiropratic center 4663661

Good Morning jauntie :)

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're not having too much pain now. I recommend Hammad hospital. They're great there, and so freindly. You may wait for a while but Doctors as well as nurses are excellent. I think coolq is working there and he can advise on such an issue. He did prpose to help the last time I had a similar nerve problem. I hope you can get rid of the pain Inchallah. May God bless you and keep you safe:)
