That sounds like an awesome trip. I've never really thought of health care as supply and demand but it makes sense. If you get a chance post some pics of your trip, I'd love to see some of the countryside.
Cheers
The countryside is absolutely beautiful, unfortunately most of the really cool stuff I shot was through a bus window so the quality is not all that great. I will take a look at what I have a share some shortly.
They sent him home with some pills, but I can't remember exactly what they were. Nothing serious though.
Most meds you can simply buy over the counter and so long as there is a generic available it is dirt cheap. Some meds you still need a script but it is nothing like in the states. Anti biotics, pain meds, benzos, sleeping aids, skin creams, etc... are all available without a script. It was really relaxed in Colombia but I heard from other travelers that comparatively Colombia is more strict than most South American countries. But still not even in the same ballpark, no, universe, as how strict it is in the US
Just an update....
We are getting married!
I have never felt more sure about anything in my entire life, which is quite the opposite of what I thought it would feel like. I mean, in the movies, there always terrified. But in my case it feels totally natural.
Thank you again all for the warm replies. This is a really great community, and all who are lucky enough to find it are blessed.
