The 1000 Day Holiday

With all my bills being handled directly by my insurance company I had no idea on the total cost of my treatment.

I contacted my insurance broker and got him to find out.

• 17 days in hospital, ~7 of them in Intensive Care.
• All medications
• Stomach ultrasound
• Chest Xrays

The total  $5400NZD

Incredibly cheap. I think the Argentinian Government picked up a large portion of the cost as they provide free medical for tourists.

For example when I first tried to go to the hospital for a blood test, the hostel arranged a house call from a doctor which was covered under this arrangement.

one of the kiwi guys (bruce) that I hung out w on tuesday ended up in hospital after hitting a tree on Happone on thursday.

he was still unconsious with major head trauma before I left on saturday. not cool.
helmets and insurance, and some good karma are always required.

heres hoping he makes a decent recovery.
update: Bruce died of his injuries about 5 days after the accident.
