Hello!
I got sick, but the bright side is, I was able to experience healthcare in another country!
I woke up on Wednesday with a big headache and a stomachache. By the time I got home from school I threw up. I had a fever of 102.02°F (38.9°C). In the morning at 9 a.m. the next day, I went to a walk in clinic with two members of Spokane Nishinomiya Sister City Society and my host mom.
The doctor was great! First he asked what happened, then we talked about Spokane and Nishinomiya's relationship. He was able to figure out was was wrong with me in probably two minutes. He gave me 4 types of medicines and instructions for each. I was surprised to see pills because I had heard that powder medicines were more popular, but at least one of the four medicines is a powder.
The most surprising part, was his accuracy at predicting the time it would take for my symptoms to disappear. He told me my headache, fever and nausea would be gone by the next day and he was spot on! He said the rest of my symptoms would be gone in the next 2-3 days. I hope that prediction is spot on too.
This is what the medicine looks like
