It's good! Glad you got good care.

Just reading an article about the ill and wealthy Chinese: They look abroad for medical treatment (medical travel). Mostly those who could not make it in Chinese hospitals (advanced cancers for example) are willing to pay whatever it costs (lots of US$100,000) to get the latest treatments in Japan, US or China. And sometimes it works! Seems that the medical system in China is not very good: In 2015, China ranked 92 out of 188 countries (after Cuba and Mexico). "The five-year survival rate of Chinese cancer patients is around 30 percent, compared with about 70 percent in the United States, according to China’s National Cancer Prevention and Research Center."
