<i>Galapagos: five stars. Kidney stones: zero stars</i><p>Dammit Jeff. One is lowest number of stars. It&#x27;s an arbitrary number. Anytime you see a review that starts &quot;I wish I could give this zero stars...&quot; you know you&#x27;re dealing with a knucklehead.

If a US ambulance ride for 15 minutes costs $1,722 [1] then how much does evacuation via an Ecuadorian navy helicopter and then a jet back to a US hospital cost the insurer?<p>[1] <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/05/health/think-the-er-was-expensive-look-at-the-ambulance-bill.html?_r=0" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;12&#x2F;05&#x2F;health&#x2F;think-the-er-was-ex...</a>

I&#x27;ve had kidney stones and they were incredibly painful. I wouldn&#x27;t wish them on anyone.

I wish Jeff a fast recovery. He is probably overworked and has a lot on his mind. Get well soon!

I was expecting either Bezos or medical treatment to be delivered by Amazon&#x27;s drones.
