Some unplanned medical tourism including an emergency appendectomy:
"Our insurance doesn’t cover us when we’re overseas, so we ended up paying out of pocket for all of it. That thought scared me at first, but all told, our bill was, conservatively, about 1/30th what we would have paid out of pocket in the US. In fact it was considerably lower than what we would have paid in copays in the US even *with* insurance."
It doesn't have to be like this.
Dr. Volts and the terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad Germany trip
About a month ago, I told y’all that I was traveling to Germany and Denmark with Mrs. Volts. I solicited your suggestions. l promised you some podcasts. So it’s only fair that I share what happened on that trip, from which I returned just a few days ago. Friends: it sucked.
