When Fear in Mexico is Real

I think the real lesson here is this: Be sure you are healthy enough to travel to a foreign country. Many, like Thailand and Singapore have excellent healthcare systems that rival or exceed our own. Some Like Mexico can have a varied mixture of some very excellent hospitals and some that are not good at all.

Get a thorough checkup before you go.

But dont be afraid to go. For my part I would rather die hiking the Himalyas at 75 than sitting in my recliner afraid to go to Mexico...
