#2Galapagos: 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.

An arbitrary number that makes crap products look artificially good. "3.5? How bad could it be?"

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.

If that were an actual Amazon review, he would base his entire review on the shipping experience instead of the actual product.

He could just have waited for some other diseases to appear and they would transport them for free!
