i hope she fully recovers, thank God for modern USA medicine and gifted surgeons. going to these islands are fine until you get hurt and once you go into those crummy hospitals you take your life into your hands. I know someone who died in an island hospital after a minor MVA.

I dunno. The older I get and the worse things seem to be getting inside even our own country, I’m extremely reluctant to travel outside of it unless it’s a trip to Western Europe or Japan.

I have spent a great deal of time being treated as a patient (for cancer) at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell. I owe them my life. It is a superb hospital. The burn victims on 9/11 were brought there, at least the worst cases, b/c they have a superb burn unit, too.

When I travel overseas, I always buy special insurance and a medical kit.
The policy I get lasts from the day before to the day after my trip. I is comprehensive enough that the company will send an airplane to get me and fly me to a center for treatment.
Never had to use it,thanks be to the Lord, but it pays to be careful.
