#and then that ENTIRE COUNTRY is fair game for finding a surgeon. good fucking luck to me rounding it down?

also for folks who ask if I could try medical tourism instead: Technically I Could, Yes... that’s on the list of possibilities. only problem: adding even MORE steps to the process of getting my surgery kind of makes me want to cry.

#i already mentioned that i was upset about potentially starting at 0 #(not being able to afford it / maybe needing to start from SCRATCH for a surgeon-search all over again) #(spending ages and ages googling surgeons in this area and that area and looking at miles and miles worth of photos) #but if I did medical tourism I don't. even know. where I'd start. #there is an entire planet. I wouldn't know where to go #or if the prices would even all work out to be cheaper. travel costs so much... #I mean I have an idea of somewhere I could go but idk now #I also don't have a passport. i am actually almost done with the process of getting one #literally just like One Step left. but right now i don't have one. #and then that ENTIRE COUNTRY is fair game for finding a surgeon. good fucking luck to me rounding it down? #surgeon searching is so so so stressful #it's the worst part #even more planning. EVEN MORE PLANNING. #also it feels like if i went out of the country it's like i should make the most of it. while i'm here. #and if i'm doing medical tourism maybe i should get some fuckin braces put in too. idk #sergle.txt
