    I went to the doctor in my country with a sore wrist. I got prescribed an anti inflammatory medication. The pharmacist split the pills up into individual bags to help track what I should take each day.

    The whole thing including medicine cost me $5 USD

      Meanwhile in America, we had to take my daughter to the hospital to have a penny unstuck from the roof of her mouth. The only reason I couldn’t get it out is because she was being hysterical and nearly hurt herself in the process. Removing it took 2 mins, a suction tube, and a q-tip. It cost us $300 out of pocket.
