ummm...I a really stupid! i was straighting my hair with the straightener i just bought, and i dropped it. Without thinking, I grabbed to catch it, and guess what? I burned the entire palm of my hand! It hurts like no other, and started to turn white and blister almost immediately. I was really embarrassed, and i didnt want to tell my family because they have guests over and I didnt want them to make a big deal. So I just left, and walked a block to the pharmacy near my house. The good news out of this is that I got my first experience with Spanish health care and whatnot, which was very impressive. I went in, and said that i didnt speak much spanish but that I burned my hand with an appliance, and showed the woman my hand. She immediately went and got perscription pain medication/antibiotic, put it on my hand, wrapped my hand in a giant bandage, and told me how to take care of it by finding words in a spanish/english dictionary. Then I bought the medicine and bandages, and it came to 5 euros! thats like 7 dollars! for prescription medicine without using insurance! and bandages! it makes me happy to think about. Way to go, Spain.
