I rebroke my foot by dropping my laptop on it and I hate myself for being such a clumsy fuck, I can't afford a hospital either so I have to just deal with it.

Don't you have someone to help you?

@Aria wow. That's unfortunate as hell. :c So sorry you're going through that. Ugh. I wish you the least pain possible.

I'm in a hateful sort of mood today.

Think i'm falling in love with this girl i've known for like 5 years. Only recently we started hanging out and the last 3 dates i felt the "click" but I don't know... Don't really wanna be in love now xD Plus i hate the fact that she always leaves the facebook conversations in the middle. -_- #seenzoned

It's okay I have some pain meds, this is the 4th time I've broken this same bone untreated, I kinda know how to take care of it myself at least.

@Aria Yeah but you shouldn't have to know how to take care of an untreated broken bone. That's so royally fucked up and it infuriates me to no end that so many people go without proper medical care when we can, as a society, absolutely provide for those who cannot afford it. Sigh. I hope it gets better soon. Glad to hear you've got some pain meds at least. :c

@Aria you're awesome.

When I finish my immigration it won't really be a problem anymore at least. 

My insurance won't even cover it either "hurr durr ya gotta pay the first 1000"

Yeah but like, I don't have that money.

 

Where you live there aren't any free medical services? I find it hard to believe that in most first world countries medicine is so expensive. Here, medical treatment is free everywhere, just like higher education.

'Murica has ridiculously high cost of medical insurance or medical assistance. It's disgusting how high the cost of care is here; I am so ashamed of my country when it comes to the state of our healthcare system. It astounds me that it costs upward 50,000 for minor surgeries and stuff. My chemotherapy treatment was 140,000; with insurance, I was able to receive my treatments, labs and doctors visits - without it, I would have gone untreated and my life would have been shortened somewhat significantly, despite the condition being so easily treated. Fucking gross, if you ask me. A lot of it has to do with corrupt practices and bullshit. My brain surgery is going to cost 50k. But I have insurance, so I'll pay a deductible up to 1,500. Which is still too much for me to afford, but I will die without that surgery, so too bad, I have to pay it. It may be hard to believe, but it's true.

Unfortunately, not every "first world country" gives their citizens "first world services".

I'm glad you live in a country that provides that for you, but saying that you find it hard to believe something like this happen, it's a surprise, at least for me. There's a whole world outside your country.

The thing is that I never had to worry about spending money on that, ever. Nor in college. Only in movies is when I realize how big the struggle is for people in other parts of the world.

That is awful, knowing that you are in a bad situation and still have to carry with all the money that comes with it

@Athayde - Basically, this sums it up. My country is far from being on-par with other developed nations when it comes to healthcare, social welfare, education and humanism; not to mention the government is grossly corrupt with money and religion tied so heavily into our politics. It should be no surprise that some nations simply do not provide for their people.

@Scavi that's pretty lucky. I understand you can't know if you've never been exposed. I'm going thousands of dollars into debt just to get a degree, so I may further my prospects and be able to eventually provide for myself. But I'm slowly becoming disabled, so I may not even get to use that degree. That is the reality for anyone who isn't born rich in the US. I personally think my country is a shit-hole and I find patriotism disgusting in the US. We are not even remotely close to being the best or greatest nation on the planet and the majority who think so are narcissistic, ignorant little shitlords who have no grasp of systematic oppression that occurs here. 
 

 

2nd edit: Maybe that's a bit harsh of me to say; there are aspects of my country I love. I've had the good fortune of living abroad for almost a decade. I've exposed myself to many cultures and ideas. I just find the American patriotic bullshit so narcissistic and annoying - when considering how poorly our country handles poverty, healthcare, education, opportunities, etc.

I really hate the american medical system, I have physical disabilities that could be helped out a lot if I could afford to actually go to a doctor. 

 

A lot of non americans I talk to always get shocked when I say things like that too. 

@Aria Me too, me too. And I have insurance. :c

I decided to do some stalking and found out that my crush has a boyfriend. Since 2011.

At least I didn't have enough time to have a serious crush on her

My parents think I asked for a laptop for my birthday because I'll use it to study. But I actually just want to watch netflix in bed.
