    If you don’t poop for several days even though you are eating, that needs to be looked at

    Had an injury and needed some baby morphine pills. The side effects was notable and the pain of even just a full day was incredible. There’s no way I could go 4 days with a hospital right across the street.

        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.
