As to hospitals while traveling, the best "plan" is to get ill at your hotel. About 4 years ago on August 29th I was doggedly sick at the Singapore Mandarin Oriental. I advised the front desk and they sent a lovely member of their staff to take me to a local doctor's office, wait for me while I was diagnosed and dispensed with a flight of antibiotics, cold medicine, etc., then escorted me back to my hotel. The following day I felt enormously better. The staff called three times during the day to ensure of my health and kept asking if I was going to visit the executive club--but I was slaving away for "da man" because of my lost day. At about 7 pm I was summoned to a knock at my door. Four lovely staffers presented me with a present and wished my "Happy Birthday!" It had slipped by that the day was August 30th. I'll never forget it. The Ying and the Yang of timing and health. PRR Matthew,
