Riding between Yaso and Ubon several years back. Got so sick I had to pull over and sit down. Truck stopped and put my bike in back , then took us to Ubon. Gave him 2500 THB.
Test and blood work at BKK hospital Ubon. Results severe bone infection. Serious antibiotics via pick line with possible amputation. Said F that and booked first class EVA with seat bed to Seattle.
Results were some really nasty antibiotics via pick line every 8 hours for 8 weeks and two knee replacements , the later xtends 15 cm into tibia and 17 cm into femur. Over three month period.
total was $639,000 and some change. Insurance negotiated reduction and I kicked in a out $20,000. Western world medicine ridiculously expensive, but I have both my legs with 60% use of the metal knee, rather than just one. And I can go still most the night.
