Had a great time visiting with my friend. Picked up a bad cold along the way, and I’m too under the weather to write a blog post. Will write one later this weekend in my Ecuador blog.

Missing your daily blog !
Get well !

Thanks DeeAnn 🙂
So sorry you are sick. We hope you get the care you need and get well soon. We are interested to know what you think of the medical resources there. We are newly retired and planning a move (still within the states) and that is always a consideration for us. We have good friends who moved to Ecuador after retiring. That is how we discovered your blog as they are friends of yours. Take care. Looking forward to more of your posts.
Thanks Karen for your well wishes. I have not personally used the medical care here, so I am no expert. I have heard the state funded medical insurance, IESS, can be difficult to get appointments, but people do and they seem ok with their care. My wife went to a doctor earlier this year for a rash and it was circa 1950. The physician sat at his desk and talked with her for 30-45 minutes before he examined her. It was a thorough exam, then he wrote a prescription and had her return in a week for follow up. It cost $50 I believe. My son went to a dermatologist and had a complete skin check, had some things burned off, then went back twice for follow up, some things burned off, and it was $40 total I think. That’s been my only experience with the health care here. I think it seems pretty good.
Hope that helped!
