You'd think it was all about science but it's just as much culture, politics and health insurance. It's a terrifying experience getting ill while abroad.

I'm glad you had a friend who accompanied you to the clinic and the hospital, and helped make sure you got the right care for your condition. Being sick like that during such cold weather sounds terrible. I hope that you're feeling better now!

It sounds like it's a journey that gave you a lot of understanding in random areas that may become useful someday. At the very least, it's an adventure that you are able to share. Maybe not a reassuring adventure regarding your health, but an adventure none the less. :)John The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15726970893781715376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-56946512150443420322014-01-06T22:32:56.771-05:002014-01-06T22:32:56.771-05:00Oh!

Thank goodness you had a fabulous friend to be there for you because getting sick sucks enough without getting death's door sick in a foreign country with a language barrier sick.

It's interesting to hear about the different standard medical practices in different countries. I hope you feel completely better very soon.

They told me it was because I ate cream pastry, which is ridiculous because I only had like two and my mom had over a handful and she was completely fine. Anyway, I don't generally get sick, and they forced the butt needle (I think I blacked out...) and gave me an IV too. I magically improved though. It's my only time ever with an IV... and I've never been that sick before, or after. Weird. It's an awful experience being sick in a foreign country, but hopefully your immune system gains from it!<br /><br />-P.E.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045558423044874125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-66743514712694505882014-01-06T14:46:31.603-05:002014-01-06T14:46:31.603-05:00That is horrible!
