for sure not a socialist country btw. non-industrial economy is mostly private. not really sure if thats the issue here either. probably yes though, to some degrees
OK, Guys. I know you want Pics. Will have to do it next time. Before that you will have to go through another very personal tl´dr-ish paragraph:
The Crisis:
I need to admit that i have been overly romantic with the situation here. Reason for that is pretty simple: I have never been affected directly. Received support, supported others and somehow thought solidarity would make up for a good amount of the structural crisis. This is not true and i had to learn it the hard way.
It is not an Exaggeration if i say that the last 7-10 Days have been among the toughest i went through IRL-wise:
So, In an earlier post i mentioned that the Girl i am with had some intestinal/ovary issues and it looked like it was resolved. Unfortunately about 10 Days ago, she started to have pain/colics of the worst kind again. That night she vomited like 15 Times and i realized i was confrontated with an emergency case. Went to her doctor again, couldnt find anything. Then to private clinic, they did the whole program: Blood Tests, CT etc. Doctor tells us they found some Tumor thing that most likely causes all the suffering and it needs to get cut out. I am like: okay when, where, how much? He wanted to do it immediately as he indicated that the according part of her body is already full with some liquid caused by an inflammation around the tumor and it would already be a dangerous situation therefore. The amount was more than i could pay in that moment as it was more than my CC Limit was and it was already night in venezuela. Also due to the weird economy making big amounts of money liquid isnt as easy as you need to trade crypto for that usually. Couldnt reach my family due to time and doctor told us that they cant keep her in that clinic if we cant front the money. During that, her family arrives, shes barely able to speak because of the painkillers they gave her. In that scenery i have to introduce myself to her parents ( who are like 10 years older than me) and the situation is really uncomfortable for all of us.
Anyway, we cant pay, so they send us to the Public Hospital. Guys, i have never been to a place as sad as this: Dozens of People suffering all kinds of illnesses in a big room, many on the floor, like no medical treatment at all, not enough beds, no machines, no medicine. Terrifying hygienical situation, stray dogs(!) in the house, will never forget that smell. Felt like i aged 10 years during our couple hours there.
Anyway, i tell her father to ffs get me somewhere where i have internet , so i can call people, somehow manage to get the money available and we get her in to the private clinic where she gets operated. It was indeed a tumor in the ovary part. So they removed one of her ovarys. According to the Doctor she hasnt lost her fertility as the other ovary is still there and in great shape. Likelihood that the tumor is malicious is rather small due to her age. We´ll have to wait for results of the biopsy to know more obv. Left the clinic sunday and the only pain she has right now is the surfacial pain at the wound of the operation.
Sad fact: 99.99% of People here dont have that option to get this kind of medical treatment
.
Apart from that, the whole country has been in a very tragic situation the last week. 80% of Venezuela had no electricity. Caracas heavily affected. Dialysis patients falling like flies. Watter supply usually works with electronic pumps. Therefore people getting water from dirty rivers now. This can very fast turn into a cholera epidemy or sth like that. I am obv also more sensitized for this now than i was before due to the happenings around me.
After getting back sunday, we still had occasional power cuts here and there and yesterday both stable internet and electricity returned, so i fired my first session for like 10 days and it could have gone worse.
