But not just a little sting

10/01/2018

The sting couldn't stop me at first, but overnight it became quite uncomfortable. The whole leg was very swollen, red, warm, and had some blisters. I first tried my luck with the park rangers. Apart from Dexa IV (we consider the side effects in awake patients), they couldn't help me further.

Therefore, in the afternoon, I had to go to the local emergency room. I'm very glad that it was primarily about a medication and I wasn't a real emergency - see pictures. It really can't be compared to our standards.

But I was helped quickly. The waiting time was also not comparable to Germany. I only had to wait 25 minutes for the doctor. Through remote diagnosis, he knew what I needed. I picked up my syringe from the nurse and went back to the hostel. The entire treatment was free. I only had to pay for the medications for home.

Here is the progress:

And it keeps getting better!
