You are quite the optimist.

Chances of finding a doctor in Dalat who knows his ass from his elbow are slim-to-none.

Chances that this doctor would speak English are less-than-zero.

Thank you.

I went, but Dr. Mai Linh was not there, and they assigned me another doctor, an elderly female, with whose english ability combined with my medical background, we were able to sufficiently communcate to a point.  One of the meds she prescribed was herbal and I had read on the inrenet previously more than one person had an adverse effect, psychically. So I attempted to press the issue but I surmise discussing potential side effects with a patient is not common, like it was  n USA 20 years ago, and still today to some degree.
So, she gave me a weeks script for the Med I had been taking in America, with the caveat that it would probably be a rare pharmacy that would stock it in Dalat, in HCMC, probably more available.
And just in case those 2 didn't pan out,  she gave me an option of a 3rd med, which I haven't researched yet. 
We shalll see.
Nothing easy overseas.

That poster's last visit to the forum was two years ago; you won't see a response from him especially since he doesn't live in Vietnam to have update on Dalat.  You can find the information by yourself on Google easily.

So glad you said elbow and not mouth.

Sometimes Vietnamese doctors confuse the two and talk with their backside.
