Sadly, I have to agree…
It wasn’t for coming back to see my father and friends I would never return.
Why?
Let me give you a quick example.
Saturday it was raining fiercely with thunder and lightning here.
So I took an Uber home from the gym..
When I got out of the Uber, I stepped onto part of the concrete that was slippery and fell down directly on my shoulder.
I didn’t think it was broken, but wanted to make sure.
So I walked down to the hospital a half mile from my house to have it examined.
Oh, I was checked in within 10 minutes
The nurse came in, took all my vitals which were damn near perfect 50 standing heart rate 110/90 blood pressure and no fever.
Then this smoke show of a female doctor comes in examines my shoulder, has me move my arm around in different directions to check my mobility.
She didn’t think it was broken either, but wanted to get an x-ray to confirm.
They took three x-rays all negative.
The doctor then gave me a shot in each butt cheek. One injection was for the pain, and one injection was for the inflammation.
Then took me 10 minutes to check out and pay.
Total time at hospital just under an hour.
Once I got the bill, I opted to just pay cash instead of using my insurance here.
Why?
My total bill for a complete exam from the nurse then a complete exam on my injury from the beautiful doctor, then, three x-rays, then two injections.
Total bill in US dollars $50.40
By the way, check the world rankings for healthcare, Colombia is far superior to the US
Things may change in the future but for right now I absolutely am 100% convinced I’m in a better place.
And then this little Colombiana came over for the night to help me recover…
