This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah. I lived in America for 6 years; and when I left, it was primarily because of the tangible risk of getting in a minor car accident and being financially ruined.

Even so, I quickly forget about the undercurrent of fear and avoidance I had with doctors or clinics of any kind.

So we'd rather take abdominal pain so bad it keeps you from functioning, because the alternative could be an expensive nothing-burger.
