answer:I was traveling in Thailand when my 4 year old began to get more lethargic over several days. Finally it was getting so bad I felt we had to do something. Loaded in the back of a small pick up truck we took him to the hospital in Chiang Mai. The other patients looked so horrible and desperately poor I felt guilty. My son at his sickest still looked well clothed and well fed. The doctor examined my son (I don’t recall if an x-ray was taken or not.) and declared.“This boy is very sick. He has a pneumonia.” She gave us some antibiotics and in 2 days my son was his old self again. I had some fancy-shmancy, international, government backed, good as gold insurance coverage but it was not used at all. They were not interested in that. The bill came to $5.00, for the hospital and doctor visit and $0.25, yes, 25 cents, for the meds. (Amoxicillin?) That was 25 years ago so figure 3x to adjust for inflation. ($15 and $0.75 in today’s $) It was a gift and a positive cultural experience that has stayed with us all these years. I also know a guy who had his prostate removed in Thailand and while he was not happy about having to lose it he was pleased with the results.
