He is, and thank you.  He's back in the States now.  Sounds like the flu is going around back there.  Ugh. Stay healthy.

One thing I thought was really cool about how they handled him was that the check was thorough, and they would not allow him to be released until they confirmed it was not his heart.  Without the drive for more profits through turnover of patients, they're more interested in quality health care....kinda like the difference between a salesman on salary vs. a salesman on commission.  They don't get paid more if they see more patients.  So, to reduce their workload, they'd rather complete the task and reduce their workload by ensuring health.
