I wasnt in Cuba, but another country. And got ill, and they had a dr come to my hotel room. It was wild. gave me prescription meds delivered even. And the cost was close to my co-pay here in the states.

They do in the USA too, usually concierge docs.

If you're Rockefeller, a doctor will surely come at any time.

Granted it’s more expensive than what you get through normal insurance it’s not out of reach.

I have a concierge doc, pay 1000 a month retainer then + any services rendered. I estimate every year I spend approximately 60,000. The average tuition at a good private school.

I was in the hospital and made a joke that if I dressed up as a computer I would get more attention then anyone.

Look around a hospital. Everyone is glued to the screens instead of helping people most of the time.

Seriously look around at what people are doing. Sitting in front of the screens.

we still call it paperwork but I think the computers made it worse.
