Dammit Jeff. One is lowest number of stars. It's an arbitrary number. Anytime you see a review that starts "I wish I could give this zero stars..." you know you'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?
I think the plane was his, and was already there, so he probably picked up the tab for that one himself.
One thing to note is that there is a hospital at the location he was evacuated from, so if it was a true emergency, they could have operated right there.
