Weekend Plans and Unexpected Activities

00:00:00
Speaker
Two, one, go. Charge. All right, guys, well, let's not all go at one time. What are we doing this weekend? We actually have nothing.
00:00:18
Speaker
Nothing. I usually never plan for the weekends, but I always do end up doing something because I have the kids and they need to be entertained. Although

Child's Surgery and Recovery

00:00:31
Speaker
one of them, because he got the surgery, he cannot, he shouldn't do much, even though we have to almost restrain him. How was the surgery? It's too active.
00:00:43
Speaker
Yeah, he had an not completely undescended testicle. So it was out of place. So they put it in place. You would think that would hurt a lot, right? But no, apparently it's fine. And they, dude, like he was trying to do when you stand just on your hands upside down. He's doing that after the surgery, like a couple of hours after. I was like, dude, stop.
00:01:13
Speaker
He's only so, so they basically had to medically drop his balls for him. Yeah. We'll just, that's wild. And that's a small cut on the belly and then a cut in the ball. Very small. Like Jesus Christ. Yeah. They have to pull it down and then, uh, make sure it stays there or else it just goes back up.

Late-night Hospital Adventure

00:01:37
Speaker
And last night, my four-year-old son, he has a mattress. His bed is a mattress on the floor. And he rolled out of bed around like nine o'clock maybe. And he started crying super hard. And he was like, I fell on my arm. And he couldn't move his arm. And I was like, can you close your fingers? And he couldn't close his fingers. And if we touched it, he would scream in pain.
00:02:05
Speaker
We're like, okay, we'll go to hospital. Don't take a chance. We'll go to the emergency, which is a good 40-minute drive from that place. So we drive there at night, and he's waiting for the doctor. He's eating chips. They gave him a painkiller, and then after an hour, he went into the
00:02:26
Speaker
He got a MRI scan and then he starts like an MRI scan then he starts like using his arms. He starts like Not an MRI. Sorry. Yeah And then he starts like starting to play with his arm He's like pushing things and he's like eating chips with his his like good arm. He's completely forgotten about it
00:02:48
Speaker
We're like, God damn it. We just left. We didn't even wait for the extra results. That painkiller hooked him up. Painkiller worked wonders. Gave him courage. That's what we call that. Great painkillers. Got home at midnight. Golly, dude. That's funny. Kids. He probably just hit his funny bone, and it probably freaked him out. He doesn't know what happened.
00:03:17
Speaker
How old is he? He just turned four. Oh, okay. Yeah, four-year-olds too, stuff like that. He kept the...
00:03:31
Speaker
the lie for a long time for a four-year-old. I don't think it was a lie because he's like, I know his kind of like screams when he like cries in pain and it's like fake. It's like, I can tell and his like scream after he fell was like, I was like, oh, he's actually, he's hurt. Yeah. Just call that a couple hour parallelization. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what happened. Maybe it was this funny bone. Maybe it was like a,
00:03:57
Speaker
I could, I could see it being that. Yeah. But it, it like lasted for a good, he like wouldn't move his arm for a good 50 minutes, maybe like an hour. He wouldn't move his arm. He would, if we touched it, he would, he would cry. Like did the hostel call you back?
00:04:15
Speaker
No, no, man. You can leave hospitals, man. They just, they just call your name. If you're not there, they wait a little bit and then they move on to the next. Fuck that guy onto the next. I'm sure he's fine. We called his number. He didn't come. Oh, please. Not dead in the parking lot.

Healthcare Cost Comparisons

00:04:33
Speaker
And it's not, it's not like in the U S where it costs your fortune to go to the emergency room. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I was saying. I was like, man,
00:04:42
Speaker
If I rolled out of my bed and my mom found me, she'd be like, ah, let's see how you're doing in the morning. We'll see how you're doing in the morning. That's what we do. I was swinging my daughter one time out front on this swing, and I was just slinging her. She was sideways, and she fell out of it sideways.
00:05:05
Speaker
messed up her, I guess her shoulder. And I was like, all right, we'll see what it looks like tomorrow. Right. Well, come to find out tomorrow was still hurting. We took her and she had a dislocated shoulder. So they had to pop her back in. So so, yeah, we just we just waited out. That's that's US health care right there.
00:05:26
Speaker
It's the 24 hour rule. If it still hurts after 24 hours. It's because it's very expensive, right? It's so expensive, man. $1,000. How much would it cost to go and do an x-ray? It's 400, 500 bucks. If you have no insurance, it's like 500 bucks, 400 bucks. It is 10 euro or something here. Well, it's ridiculous how much it costs because all you do is you just walk in there. You can go to the dentist here.
00:05:54
Speaker
I don't like this, actually. I don't like this because you get a lot of radiation. But you go to the dentist, and they do you the x-rays for free. For free every time, like three or four x-rays to your mouth. And I usually go to a dentist that is a friend of mine, and I tell him, like, we really need to do this. And that friend of mine, actually, he knows he should leave the room when they do the x-rays, but he stays there.
00:06:22
Speaker
It's all day getting x-rayed. He says apparently now it's fine. It's really low dose. Still, I don't like doing that. But just to show you, they don't even charge for those. They don't. America, once you go into a dentist, I think their first time they take your x-rays, of course. And then I think you wait a year before they even attempt to want to take another x-ray or ask you to do it. It's crazy.
00:06:52
Speaker
They want to be taking x-rays all the time. I went I went to the ER for something recently and it's crazy when If you if they give you like painkillers like Tylenol or something a little little packet of like two pills They'll charge you like 50 bucks for that shit. Yeah
00:07:13
Speaker
You can go to 10 on all this. When you go to gas station, get it for a dollar fifth year. Yeah. That's the same shit. Yeah. Just a little bit more high strength. Yeah. It's a scam. It is. I'm going to stop this.
