The Great Saudi Hospital Experience

I decided I should make a very small gallery for for my time spent in a private Saudi hospital, where I received excellent care and amazingly enough, had a fascinating time. To recap, a frozen 7 kilo (15 pound) turkey fell on my foot and broke my big toe along with inflicting other damage to the nail, requiring emergency surgery and a three day hospital stay, plus many visits afterwards.

Then, after the K wire was removed from my toe seven weeks later, I developed a huge allergic reaction to an antiseptic put on my foot in the short surgery and ended up for four more days in the hospital. Another interesting time with meeting some great people, but when the staff gets to know you so well in a hospital, it's time to stay out of there!
