One of the women who I have mentioned that I have taken to the hospital has had severe kidney stones for the last couple of years. Apparently she did not have money for an operation and,because she is not Thai,she can not get the care through the government insurance. At the start of this year they said one of her kidneys was badly damaged and she had to have it removed which some one agreed to pay for. Now the second one has the same problem and they said that they will try to remove the stones but due to the number of stones it may be too damaged to function. My friend found a donor to pay for the surgery but it may be a little late. It is tough being poor.
