ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH
In Ecuador you can get eye infections from eating dairy.
In the Ecuadorian medical system you can count on: $10 office visits and 10 minute waits, meeting several doctors in the waiting room and the taxi before meeting a real doctor, every one has a piece of advice.
Diagnosis and treatment will range from, “You definitely got a stick in your eye,” to “If it still hurts later, light a chunk of phosphorus and breathe it in.”
If all else fails, give up dairy.
What will happen when you take off a make shift eye patch, where the tape is covering your eyebrows?
Stay tuned for an update in the next 48 hours.
