Quality of Healthcare in Surrounding Area

We've been so healthy since being here. I generally have "white coat syndrome," so I travel with my essential oils & we get along fine. There are specialists available, esp. in MVD.

Prescription Medicines

I was a medical transcriptionist in my former life, so I pretty well know what I need to doctor myself. Here, you can get whatever you need if you know the generic drug name and can write it down. No prescription needed.

Ex: I have fibromyalgia and occasionally use a muscle relaxer. I go ask for Flogene or Diclofenac, and done. Cost is about $10 for 30 tabs.

Expat Health Insurance in Uruguay

I don't bother with health insurance. Medical care is so cheap here I don't need it. Can't see paying a monthly fee when I've been "sick" once in 11 years.
