Btw (i’ve only watched the first one, way too long ago), is there any sideplot about the lab being a government program to create super soldiers?
The trauma follows you.
I left the US years ago and people still look at me like I’m insane when I catch a cold and I don’t go to the doctor.
I drove 40 minutes to the hospital once after an injury, and people thought I was insane for not calling an ambulance.
I’ve never lived in the US.
Going to the doctor for the common cold is insane. Why waste doctors’ time on something that’ll pass on its own with a bit of rest and paracetamol? Utterly selfish.
Driving to a hospital if you’re not badly injured is also perfectly normal. Once again, why would you call an ambulance that could be helping someone in dire need, if you don’t need to?
Unless the injury is life threatening, drive yourself or have someone drive you. Not insane at all.
You go to the doctor when you have common cold to get your sick leave, so you don’t go to work and spread it. In no way is it “insane”
There’s a better way. Here in Finland it’s pretty common that you can just call/text your boss that you have a common cold and you can be on a sick leave for few days (3 days is pretty common limit) just self-diagnosing it. With longer sickness you’ll need a doctors note, but at least on my company with common cold and other minor stuff it’s taken care of either over text chat or via a call with a doctor.
Obviously if the doctor thinks the whatever you have requires more in depth examination they can schedule a meeting, but for seasonal flu and stuff like that it’s pretty rare you need to see a doctor in person at all. And of course they’ll follow the numbers, so that if you call in sick every monday or whatever the rules are more strict and examinations are done more frequently, but for vast majority a few days laying in bed with a fever isn’t any kind of issue.
You go for sick leave when sickness doesn’t allow you to work, not to not spread it lol. I envy you, wherever you work, that they allow that approach xD
Found the countryside kid.
The shocked ones are probably city people.That’s what I said.
Different medical culture, I guess. People here go over much more easily.
Good thing too. A friend of mine jammed her finger playing volleyball once and I thought she was nuts to go to the hospital, but it turned out she needed a surgical adjustment and if she hadn’t gone it would’ve wound up healing in a way that would’ve permanently affected her dexterity.
I live in Canada and I’ve gone to the emergency room for a pretty mild eyelid infection before because I wanted to be sure it wasn’t cellulitis and couldn’t get in at the walk in clinic because I work nights and you have to go really early in the morning (appointments at my family doctor typically take like 2-3 weeks at least). It’s nuts, what the US has going on (with regards to more than just healthcare but ce n’est pas le place)
I’d do the same honestly
My family doesn’t suffer from healthcare anxiety, which in this shithole country means we must be wealthy.
Until it ulcerates, you’re all good
