Dear Martin,
Since I do not have a medical question, I will leave out this information about myself. Because I will soon be 75 years old and want to renew my Dutch driver's license, I need a BIG registered doctor for the examination. I seem to remember that you wrote somewhere that you are still BIG registered. Is it possible for you to carry out this inspection?
Apart from minor prostate problems, I am otherwise healthy. Traveling to the Ubon area is no problem for me.
I did not see any possibility to approach you other than via Thailandblog, but more people may have this question.
Awaiting your reply,
Yours faithfully,
H.

Dear h,
Indeed, I am still BIG registered. However, I don't do tests. That is not allowed here either.
You can have it done by a doctor here. With that information I can then sign the necessary forms. I've done this twice before, but heard if it worked. So that is guesswork.
Perhaps it is also possible in the 'Dutch clinic' in HuaHin.
Sincerely,
Dr. Maarten
