Visiting the doctor, Mexican style

Yesterday afternoon my right eye started to hurt and turn red. When I woke up this morning it was the same so I walked up to the marina office in search of directions to a doctor that might be able to see me on a Sunday morning. Instead, he got on the phone, hung up and told me that the doctor would see me down on my boat in 20 minutes. HOUSE CALLS?? Cool! He showed up, examined my eyes right there in the cockpit, told me that I had infections in both eyes, wrote me a prescription and told me where I could find a pharmacy nearby. All for US$100.
Sunday morning house call $100 US
Meds $20 US
Delicious pork sandwiches, a soda and beer for lunch $8 US (for 2)
I feel better already!
