I mean, as international students, we're relentlessly drilled into not going to the ER, unless it's potentially life-threatening...but how in the gently caress is a post-surgery infection that rapidly spreads from your toes to your ankle and swells everything up like loving kielbasas not and indication of a life-threatening condition? Like, loving keep me there for another few hours just to see if the trend is ongoing...Jesus

Welcome to the land that won both WW2 and the Cold War. Make sure to get some opiates on your way out of the doctors office or you'll never be able to cover your expenses! Duzzy Funlop posted:This poo poo's gonna cost me proper, isn't it? If part of your international attendance tuition is not insurance that will provide for care to the level of your home country then you are getting hosed like 5 times. I can only imagine that you are paying 5k a year for some student health insurance plan that exclusively covers individuals under the age of 40.

At least they wouldn't have done that in Germany.

Welp, checked the coverage RIP 200 bucks. Foot Status: Festively colorful and ripe...at least it hasn't gotten worse in the last 20 mins or so. Probably should have asked the doc if it's fine to pop a handful of ibuprofen with these meds

Like, there's a legal obligation for them to monitor anything that even has potential to worsen, lest they incur liability issues. And here, it's somehow the literal opposite...not dying yet? Lol you're stable, go home I'm pretty much gonna spend the night reading some 40k books with one eye, eyeballing my foot with the other, and bide my time until campus urgent care opens in five hours

I'm not a doctor, but my understanding is that Arizona is very similar to Florida in that only criminals live there and all that stands between you and what you want is the bullshit you tell yourself everyday - Leonardo Dicaprio Edit: Is your house an honest to god cesspit? I don't think that a splinter would honestly warrant antibiotics, close observation, five stitches or concern over sepsis. Unless I am really missing the picture here your foot is going to be fine, and barring any downturns you should stop worrying about it. The litigious nature of American society means our medical care is P.good, though very expensive. Kawasaki Nun fucked around with this message at 08:47 on May 10, 2017 |

I don't see why they need to keep you if over the counter antibiotics are effective. American healthcare is hosed and every hour you're at the ER is costing thousands of dollars.

I watch Marvel movies, they're pretty fun. And I've been enjoying watching a high school friend of mine who does CG work go from one of a sea of names at the bottom up to being one of the major team leads with his name in large text, so good for him.

I'd watch a Punisher film if they rolled with what Frank really is and it was rated R.

Or instead of a Punisher film, give me a Sicario sequel/prequel that's all about Alejandro. Make it mostly Spanish language and get the Narcos guys involved.

Heretical opinion here, but I think the vast majority of superhero movies and shows are bland as gently caress. I wind up incidentally watching them because my roommates marathons every one of them in Netflix, and I've gotta say... they're all exactly the same. Guardians, though, is pretty rad. I loved the first one for being a breath of fresh air. I just saw the second one yesterday, and while it didn't have the same magic as the first, it was still a good time.
