It needs a tiny bit of setup, but I haven't played it in years and honestly have been looking to get rid of it. I would much rather give it to you than sell it for peanuts on eBay. If you are interested, email me and we'll work it out. Sean,

I love your new name, Shwon. Why didn't I think of spelling it that way when you were born? Tate, I love you for your comment. Yes, Sean learned all his writing skills from moi, including the satirical prose. :o) I knew about the burn, but glad you told me all the infection details after the fact.

I spent Christmas in a Korean hospital ejecting fluids from both ends. An IV, shot in the ass, and a bed-side show of the Korean ER only cost me about 8,000 won (about 8 USD). It's amazing that a health care system can thrive charging those prices. No wonder everyone back home is so batty on the issue.

I got a really good look at the medical system in the Philippines a couple years back when my Filipina sister-in-law was having some heart problems. Everything I saw was cash and carry, walk in and wait to be seen. Fees ranged from $10-20. The cardiologist office visit and exam was around $16 if I recall correctly. A full set of lab work with EKG was less than $100. But again, it's all cash and carry. No insurance, no billing, just show up, get seen, pay on the spot. By the way I think we met in passing at Pam Slim's seminar in Portland last year. I was reading about your exploits on Dan Andrew's blog and wondering why your name sounded so familiar. Then when you said you used to live in Portland it clicked. Thanks for sharing your experiences - I'm glad I finally found time to circle back to your site and see what you've been up to.
