That's very interesting. I worked for a large global company many years ago; we'd do executive exchanges: 2-3 year assignments. I caught on right away that all our guys/gals would do all their medical stuff here and get it done when they'd come back on vacations and so on; meanwhile, just the opposite occurred with our British and Canadian counterparts, as well as other European countries. They'd get as much crap done as they could in their 2-3 years here and I talked to many, many of them and they told me they couldn't get the stuff done there (England, Canada). I was convicted way back then and that was in the mid-late eighties.
Don't worry about it...nearly everyone was convicted in the eighties.
