Hi Alex, I was a Flight Engineer with over 7,000 hrs until the motorbike
accident and the advent of computers put paid to that, when I became a Marine Engineer instead. Both of those careers entailed a lot of worldwide travel. I can assure you[rather belatedly] that first world, and many third
world hospitals are just fine. If I had to worry about something foreign, it
would be travelling on many third world airlines.
Anyway, you will see in the pics that the toilets did not flush, the idea being that you used a bucket to get water from the blue drum, and tossed the
water into the pristine toilet. The blankets had holes in them, and food was
not provided. The hospital didn't have drugs, you had to get your own from
the pharmacy down the road. God help you if you were a lone traveller.
The staff were wonderful, so caring. One amusing thing was that I had a sink with taps in my room, but no water supply, and the sink had no drain pipe, just the hole that one could be fitted into.
cheers raymo
