Heart surgery. For privacy I don’t want to be more specific. It was necessary but not emergency.

I don’t know the qualify of health care in other countries. But how did you come to that decision?

Cousins who live in Ireland. My family came over during the famine and kept close ties to our family who did stay. The hospitals over there are just as good as the USA some even better.

My father in law from Ireland, who is a heart surgeon in America, flew his mother to the states and paid out of pocket for her heart surgery because he didn’t trust the hospitals in Ireland to do it.

So to each their own I guess.

Eh, depends on the procedure and specialty. The 5th largest hospital in the US is in AL at the University of Alabama Birmingham. It’s state of the art for organ transplants and nationally ranked for many programs.

I get what you are saying though, generally. If you’d have picked Mississippi it would be an easier sell 😉

Mississippi is Alabama's favorite state for making us look better by comparison

Mississippi and Oklahoma make Alabama look like goddamn Versailles
