private clinics in costa rica really treat you right, during the vacation portion after classes were over i caught a local stomach bug and i remember one of the nurses touching my arm going pobrecita :( and then they gave me amazing pain meds and sent me home with a giant jug of juice to drink, and anyway i just had my first er visit in appalachia and the vibe was honestly similar

#they actually gave me pain meds i couldn't believe it #i was crying on the phone to my mom bc i've gone in for this exact issue before when i lived in the midwest and they never did anything #but everyone was nice to me!!!#and they didn't know what was wrong but they still treated the symptoms anyway #basically i have some kind of issue where my stomach gets so bloated that it physically hurts and i get nauseated #and normally i can manage it with otc stuff but it was really bad for some reason this time #my track record with urgent/emergency care has made me extremely mistrustful #i am never anything but polite and the condescension... i wish i could trade places and see if they'd be as nice as me :)#i just wish i knew what would trigger this stomach thing so i could never do it ever again
