Congratulations!

Out of curiosity: What do you think of Czech healthcare? I got appendicitis while visiting the Czech Republic and had to have my appendix out while there in a hospital that was built in the 1300s.

What do you think of Czech healthcare?

I cannot speak about specific topics, but my general impression based on situation with childbirths is: better than Slovakia, slightly worse (but significantly cheaper) than Austria. Of course in other aspects it may be different.

a hospital that was built in the 1300s

That would be the least of my concerns. I care about the statistics of outcomes, and friendly treatment by doctors. (I see you are from USA. There is a cultural difference: In Europe hundreds of years old buildings are no big deal.)

Haha, thanks. Was just curious. You're right about it being significantly cheaper. 5 days in the hospital, surgery, and all the drugs that go along with that: ~$400 USD.
