I had a wonderful trip with my family as a whole but in HK we had some dodgy seafood and all got food poisoning two days into our stay. Sparing you the details suffice to say that we did not get very far with the hotel and local doctor they sent us, mainly due to the language barrier. Out of desperation I searched and found a British doctor from Google who provide home visits in HK and got her to come to our hotel within 2 hours. She brought with her a big medicine bag and checked out everyone of us (even administering drips) and gave us all the meds there and then. She has wonderful communication skills and bedside manners. I wish my GP in London was more like her! In the end we recovered enough to make a quick visit to the ferry, the Peak and Mongkok, all thanks to Dr Lily. No more seafood though! My wife missed HK's shopping this time so we are hoping to come back next year, minus the diaarhoea and sickness... If anyone out there needs quality medical help quick Dr Lily could be found under Doctorsdirect.com.hk or just Google. Hope this is useful info.

GUEST21194	I like to say thanks for the information above, I called the Doctorsdirect service on your advice after searching on Internet for a doctor to come and see me, after developing fever from a business trip in China. The doctor came within an hour, tested me for Influenza A which was positive and gave me Tamiflu. there and then, so so efficient and saved me hrs waiting at Adventist, and probably infecting others! She even went to the trouble of calling me the following day to check up on me. All covered on my insurance , the service was priceless.
