Dr. D is very ill in Bangalore, India.
I might have to go over there. She is such a trooper, but she can't get out of bed (it is 8:30 AM there) because of her severe headache. She has not been sick (other than a cold or two) in the 31 years of our marriage. Her 3-M contact might have some connections with medical personnel. This is terrible. She can barely talk. I am devastated. Mac

5. Well, get your ass over there.
And I hope that TV newsmagazine about the superiority of medicine in Thailand and India is absolutely true. Good luck and good health and great doctors to you both.

I might leave tomorrow and go through London. Problem is, I won't get to Bangalore until Thursday. What a pain! Mac

12. Oh man, I am really sorry. I hope you can get there quickly.
I know she'd feel100% better just having you with her. I hope the head pain is transient and isn't a sign of something much worse. :grouphug:

14. I just talked with her Chicago partner.
They have evac insurance. He assured me that if she is no better by tomorrow, their insurance will pay for a G-5 medivac. It would have to stop in London for a crew-change and re-fuel. Mac

I'm sending healing vibes her way. Can you convince her to get to a Doctor. Most large hotels can get a doctor for you. :hug:
