Ecuadorian Navy Rescues Bezos After Kidney Stone Attack

Posted by samzenpus on from the fly-me-away dept.

theodp writes "While vacationing aboard a cruise ship in the Galapagos Islands, where the State Department warns the quality of medical facilities and services are 'generally well below U.S. standards', Gawker reports that Jeff Bezos was rescued by the Ecuadorian Navy so he could receive treatment for a kidney stone attack on New Year's Day. The Ecuadorian Navy confirmed Bezos' rescue, which involved taking Bezos by Navy helicopter from Academy Bay in Santa Cruz Island to his private jet stationed on Baltra Island."

    Daft liberal is daft and didn't bother to RTFS.
    He was flown to the US for treatment because facilities in Ecuador are substandard.

    Not sure why you are attempting to lie to make my original point invalid. I guess because my original point was so valid you couldn't argue against it honestly.
