   Hi. I have tonsillitis and a sinus infection to boot. I totally feel for you. I have had no voice since Tuesday. Ugh. Feel better and great pics.

   You wouldn’t feel safe having your tonsils removed in Chile? I thought it had the best doctors in Latin America?

   Chile would be the first place I’d have my tonsils out – their clinics (well some of them of course) and surgeons (again some of them) RULE. One operation and one baby there and I’m DREADING having medical care elsewhere. Honestly.

   (Have you noticed I’ve found a way through the Great Fire Wall of China to comment?!)

   Miss you lots

   Dude, suck. Sorry you’re sick. Hope you get well soon. I imagine you’re going to get better and you won’t need your tonsils taken out!!

   And about Chilean hospitals…mmm…I don’t like hospitals to begin with, even in the States… I understand how you feel Kyle. I don’t know if I’d be operated on here if I could choose to go to the States instead. If I did need surgery, I’d definitely investigate a bit first. I’m sure there are plenty of competent Chilean doctors. It’s the facilities that scare me a bit. There are plenty of hospitals that seem to have good machines and everything, but I’ve heard the rate of people who die in Chilean hospitals due to machine failure is relatively high. That’s understandable for public hospitals, because the machines are used so much that they don’t always have time for routine maintenance. But I guess even in the nice Chilean hospitals the rate of people who die due to machine failure is high. A friend of Vuko’s was considering doing his Electronic Engineering thesis on a related topic, and told us this. He ended up picking a different topic, because he said the changes that the hospitals would need to make to be safer would so expensive that he didn’t see them doing it in the near future. So he chose an easier topic. It freaked me out a bit to hear this. It made me think twice about Chilean hospitals.

   Oh, I remember going through this in Mexico. I got tonsillitis every year too. My doctor said the same thing.

   I moved soon after, back to Canada, so I never did find out if it’d had happened again.

   I do hope you’ll be better soon. Gets lots of rest.
