M got "summer influenza" at Ebla. That's one more for Syria. Best part? When the doctor who came to the hotel put a stethoscope on Mike's chest and said "inspiration... expiration."
For the curious, cost of care in Aleppo:
1 doctor visit to hotel - $30
3 visits from a nurse for shots of antibiotics - $9
1 trip to the pharmacy for 2 different medications, syringes, and vitamins - $18
Also, M feeling better.

ReplyDeleteMike's got summer influenza? Is that another word for swine/camel flu?
ReplyDeleteThe inspiration expiration cracked me up. Sorry Mike wasn't feeling well, but at least you got an entertaining story out of it... right? :-) Smooches!
ReplyDeleteHow did Mike take the syringes?
