We arrived just in time to catch 2 full winters in one year. At first we didn't seem to catch any of the virus' going around - and then this past month. Flu, cold, fevers - you name it. I've completely lost track of who was sick when. I just know that now i write this feverish and appreciative that we didn't go to Iguazu falls this weekend as we originally planned.
My random encounters with healthcare in BA have been utterly mind-blowingly convenient and relatively cheap. When Felix needed stiches here 2 years ago, we went to a private hospital, were immediately seen, sent to wait a mere 20 minutes in a nice cafe while the pediatric plastic surgeon came. Next, cut to our current 'living here' lives -we have relatively speaking very expensive health insurance. Apparently it covers the kind of plastic surgery that isn't caused by falling down - more like 'hey i want new boobs' - i still don't believe it. The insurance does cover HOUSE CALLS. We've had 4 different house-calls/doctors come over. They're all a little unique and human, but professional and great at the same time. I remember a house call in London too - can you imagine in the US if a doctor drove to your house to see you?!!!
