"Gee, Chris, why no blog posts?" I've been fighting some off/on illness that has laid me up to the point where I finally had to see a doctor, a first for me in my years of being in Oaxaca. I do have a doc in Boston, where from where I just returned, but next available appt. was sometime in the distant future.
I was struck by the difference here. I called at 10 AM and got an appointment for 11:30. Cost was $25 US and it was suggested that I get some tests done. So I walked a couple of blocks and immediately was seen, a full range of tests was performed for about $100 US. The results will be emailed to me on Monday. I know from previous experience, that all of the above would have cost me about ten times more in the States where I am a self-pay.
Anyway, I feel better and am ready to face whatever gets thrown at me... yeah, right.

Hope you feel better soon. That air travel to cold climates is not for sissies!
there are some nasty viruses going around in El Norte. Everyone seems to be coughing
Be well
You can walk in to see Dr. Zamacona on Los Libres one block east of El Parque el Llano. Fee seems about the same. He studied in Los Angeles and is fluent in English. Extremely nice person. Hope you are better. I arrive for the winter this Thursday.
He was the doctor I saw. Very nice and professional. And he's a musician. I'd rather see him in that context
Hope you are feeling better.
