Our cook has not been coming to work for the past few days. Her husband collapsed in their toilet. They took him to the hospital and was told it was due to low blood? Low blood pressure?
All those hospital tests and accommodations instantly cost them 15,000 pesos. All they got was a diagnosis that he had low blood? That the low blood was due to his taking his medications for high blood? That he needed to be infused with more blood?
My wife asked our cook if she used the cayenne tincture I gave them as a Christmas gift. Of course they forgot about the cayenne tincture in their panic. They believe the medical gods.
So my cook is short of cash, gets a loan from my wife, which honestly will never be repaid. They check out from that hospital. Go home. And look for a cheaper hospital for the blood they are looking for. The first donor was rejected because he had a tattoo. A second blood donor came along and they were charged another 15,000 pesos, I will have to confirm this amount.
So how is the poor fellow? I don’t know. Maybe tomorrow we will know. Sounds like money making crap to me. Poor people victimized by idiotic money making hospitals. Blood transfusion my a**. I know the guy, he doesn’t need blood transfusion. All he need probably was to be off his high blood medications. Real food. Rest. A rest from booze. And tender loving care.
Hospitals are low tech. Blood transfusions indeed. In the 1920s a french scientist and his company is still operation today makes blood substitutes from sea water. Easy, effective, and always available. How come hospitals here don’t know that? Maybe that is a business I should get into. I’m not telling you what the company name is.
