Given the thorough nature of Dr. Brassard's aftercare (and pre-care), is a companion necessary? I can understand the logic of a companion when recovering in a hotel, but I suspect a companion might "get in the way" when it comes to Brassard's setup. Couple that with the relatively short hop back to the US rather than a slog home from Thailand, and he's looking once again like a rather attractive option.
Anyone with experience of this?
