________________________________
Thanks, I will...Little Alex came down with a fever yesterday, and the doctor admitted him to the hospital.
I just came from there. He seems to be OK, but bewildered.
I am impressed with the medical care that is available here.
It seems to be top notch, contrary for a third world country. When I walk in the door, all of the staff, as well as security guards, treat me as close friend or member of the family.
Once a year I go to the city where a lab takes my blood.
I come home and go to their web site, enter my code, and get a printout of 25 or more values for my blood.
I then email them to my brother, a doctor in the states
We all have PhilHealth, a basic medical insurance. They do not pay much, but the cost for a family policy is peanuts. It will, however, get you into a hospital, and it did pay a fair amount for the birth of little Alex.
