In my travels, I observed and bought drugs as I needed them in many different countries and they were CHEAP. I also found that there were a lot of different treatments that were available there, but not here. For instance, oral rehydration salts that came in a handy-dandy foil packet for one liter of good water. Just mix it in and drink it down, especially useful for Cholera and other diarrhea problems instead of dying from dehydration or getting a saline drip. Found this out when I had a case of bacterial dysentery for a couple of weeks in India. Got it by stupidly drinking out of a shallow well.
