Jeff Bezos evacuated off Galapagos for kidney stones
- mynameishere 13y agoGalapagos: five stars. Kidney stones: zero stars 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.
- nixgeek 13y agoIf 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?

- tomfakes 13y agoI 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.
- scoot 13y agoHe probably flew Prime Air.
- JetSpiegel 13y agoHe could just have waited for some other diseases to appear and they would transport them for free!
- drdeadringer 13y agoI was expecting either Bezos or medical treatment to be delivered by Amazon's drones.
- cl8ton 13y agoWalk it off and resume work
- RexRollman 13y agoI've had kidney stones and they were incredibly painful. I wouldn't wish them on anyone.
- MyNameIsMK 13y agoI wish Jeff a fast recovery. He is probably overworked and has a lot on his mind. Get well soon!
