You might recall i fell off my bike and broke my arm in Spain. My experience in a small Spanish hospital in the middle of the country was actually a highlight of the trip. No frills, no food, no constant monitoring like in US hospitals, but excellent doctors. Google translate was very helpful. And it cost a tenth of what it would have cost at home. Hooray for hospital tourism!
I remember when you had that accident. I hadn’t thought of it before, but I actually spent the night at one of the hospitals and thank God I was never offered food!!!
At one point, I asked the doctor for a receipt to submit to my insurance and he looked at me and said “I don’t think we’re even charging you for this”. No scanning the barcode and doing unnecessary hovering. Everything was shared decision-making.
Big fan of hospital tourism👋
Thanks for being a reader and for sharing.
I just got back from hostage square Jesus things are depressing..
I am sorry you had the need for the green whistle. But on the bright side you made a story out of it informing your Stateside friends about its uses. I wish I could have used it when I got my IUD! The opening of my carved was not pleasant!!!
Thanks Anne for the info. Never heard of the green whistle so now I know. Hoping I won’t have to use it on my trip while in Europe. 😊

Every single woman should have access to the green whistle, especially for that nasty IUD stuff which I never had, but I heard it’s horrible!
