So, I have been a little busy lately. Doing what, you ask? Mainly taking students to the local medical clinic to get checked out. 8 days into our stay and the stomach issues hit us; 8 students in the last 3 days have been seen by a doctor. The clinic is much nicer than I ever imagined. And much cheaper than imagined as well! One of the students was pretty dehydrated and had a very low blood pressure, and thus had to be admitted to the hospital. Her 7 hour hospital stay was less then $65, with about $12 worth of meds. The charge to be seen by the urgent care doctor - $6.
The nurses and doctors all recognize me at the clinic at this point, and are all very kind. When I visited with a student today, they asked me about the student who had the hospital stay, wanting to know if she is feeling better. At first I had a local person who works on campus go with us to the clinic, but now I am a seasoned veteran - taking the students by myself. Luckily, I have not gotten sick yet!
