Ebola in a place like St. Lucia would be an extinction-level event.

The best hospital is very likely a third-rate version of Dallas Presbyterian, with an X-ray machine that doesn’t work.

Yeah, another problem is that they send patients with complicated problems to the closest U.S. territory which is where I live.

Interestingly enough I've had occasion to visit the hospital in St Lucia ( Pulled a Danish woman out of the surf who had broken her neck) and you are spot on. While waiting in the hospital I glanced out of a window set ajar and there was a cow pasture directly beneath the window with the concomitant patties - no screen on the window, so flies were visiting the cow pasture and flying directly into the hospital.

Luckily a couple of hours later they Medivac'd her out to Barbados.
