I'm A Worrier . . .

[andypaul]

I finally spoke to her just now. She is really ill - could not get out of bed yesterday. I have insisted that she calls her cousin and they both go to the private hospital right away. Obviously she is worried about the cost - which is so sad because she knows I wouldn't think twice about paying for her.

Hopefully it is only flu, but I have a feeling it might be malaria or dengue. Are they around in Angeles?

This is a really horrible feeling. I know she probably wont die, but she sounds so weak. I don't think I will sleep much tonight.

One to remeber is things that sound horrific to us are not so bad to people native to phill. I remeber my Wife having her first proper uk cold/flu here in the UK really knocked her for six everyone else in the my brit family and friends who suffered the same bug (we presume) carried on as normal.

Last year a BBC programe showed a uk reporter traveling around the equator and he caught malria and all the locals were joking that they are used to it and just like a bad cold to them.

So im soon your girlfriend will be back to normal

i'm sure your g/f will be fine.. at least shes in the right place now...

7000php is about right for a private hospital, could be more than double that for perpetual hospital, depending on length of stay and treatment

thats the thing when you don't have insurance, risk of a big pay out at once if you don't have insurance.. earlier this year, i paid £600 for a 30 minute op for my dog, total cost £900 , i'm still paying my credit card off.
