Nhem Tyhemarine, a 59-year-old teacher living in Chhbar Ampov, Phnom Penh, sued two ORL (Oto Rhino Laryngology/Ear Nose Throat) medical doctors. One the two is practicing at the Calmette Hospital, and the other at the Ang Duong Hospital. The patient suffered from ear inflammation, but during her consultation with these specialists, they told her that she required a medical surgery. Nhem Tyhemarine went under the knife on 31 August 2008 at the Ang Duong Hospital and paid a $500 bill for the surgery. Following the surgery, she could no longer close her eyes completely, nor can she open her mouth normally. The doctors told her that it was normal post-surgery symptom, and they assured her many times that this will quickly go away.
Six months later, nothing changed and Nhem Tyhemarine decided to travel to Vietnam. There, a specialist she consulted told that the surgery was improperly done: two veins draining the eye and the lips were cut off. It is now too late to fix the botched surgery. At her return from Vietnam, Nhem Tyhemarine sued the two Cambodian doctors and asked $100,000 in compensation. Her case will come to the court on 3 June.

That'd the consequence of students buying admittance to medical school and buying degrees. You end up with a generation of quack doctors. recently went on a bus trip to vietnam. the bus was full of cambodian patients seing vietnamese doctors. The horror stories you hear of the botched operations done by cambodian doctors are horrifying that the vietnamese doctors had to undo.
Folks,
Medical Institution's program worth nothing, especially in Cambodia!!
I feel ashame to know that most graduted students from PP medical school program will be corrupt like their government bodies because those sutudents don't learn properly therefore they become incompetent doctors to serve the so-called their country, Cambodia.
It also ashame to know that hun sen and cronies are probihitting the REAL and COMPETENT ones not to serve Cambodia. I also have heard that the viet-hun sen government even refuse TOTALLY to let the competent doctors from oversea to teach properly medical program to Khmer people in Cambodia, because the BASTARD viet-hun sen government doesn't want new generation members to be the skilled-doctors in order to serve their country. And it's in their plan...
So I would recommand Khmer people in Cambodia to seek advices from the REAL experts (docs) in overseas before going for medecine or any treatment. If they can somehow contact or even have access to those contacts list's name of the experts in medical fields.
PP student
Yeah bullshit!!!
It's not because they are not allowed to teach Cambodian medical shool program. It's because those westerners doctors come here to teach somthing else orther than teaching just medical. They come here to teach ours student to be revolutionary and teaching ours students to be rebelled against our government. There were a few of overseas docs that came here to do just that; to go aaginst our government... And those who did that not only they do that, they also want to pick their nose to the government affairs... Ever since PM Hun Sen decided to kick them out and especially the very well famed doctors who that UN people tend to protect them.
Our PM Hun Sen said who ever is coming from the UN bodies will be kicked out from our Khmer land.
If you were in the place of our PM Hun Sen, would you let those who want to corrupt our people to go against the government? There is the question. So, don't tell that we are not nice. In fact, we were nice, it's just those oversea doctors were not nice to us. They want to see our people, especially students to go against our government. Those who are not with US, we would KICK their ASS out!!!
12:46AM you SRP do not try to be Hun Sen's people!

Yep! I'm a 100 % with you 1:27 AM!
You are right, we are not that dump, ok!!! Go and tell OTHER stupid westerners doctors to get lost from Cambodia if they don't want PhD from Hanoi to kick their ASS out!!!
Those stupid docs westerners must be sent from the STUPID United Nations quarter from New York.
Ok, UN send your world-famous doctor Jasmine to Cambodia so that WE can kick her Khmer-Indian-Chinese royal butt out of here, right away!!! Let see, who got the best PhDs: Hanoi or the West?
