the best medical care ever

I bet you would expect the medical care in a developing country to be terrible, right?  Wrong!  When I broke my arm a former NPH pequeño brought me to his medical school professor´s private practice in Teguc.  I walked in and the doc was examining me within 5 minutes. I immediately received an X-Ray.  The doc read the x-ray with me there, and then brought me to another room to set it.  We were completely finished there after one hour including paying the bill.  The doc was with me the entire time and even hugged me when I left.  The total bill???  $150 including the x-rays.  Just a little reminder how bad health care is in the US.
