Woody - if people are dependent upon obtaining their medications from the US or wherever ..... and then needing a shipping service to deliver those drugs to them here in Panama ... then I say, they are not adapting very well. My wife has 21 medications and I have 14 - that we take every day. Some of them have been modified because they aren't available here in Panama. Sure, we could get them from the US, but we chose to get them from here..... we adapted.
For those who will say they must get their medications from the States or whatever, then I question why they are living here in the first place. Healthcare and prescriptions were issues that we considered BEFORE we moved here and became residents.
