I snuck onto the Fiat factory field trip today and it was pretty cool. We got to see the automated chasis building system and the final assembly lines for the Fiat Punto and Idea. I never would have thought that so many components could go together so quickly. It was definitely a very interesting experience.
For the remainder of the day I went all over Torino trying to see a doctor. Mikaela, my translator and also a tutor for USAC, went with me to help. We headed to the doctor and they said we could make an appointment for August. I decided that wouldn’t do me much good so the nurse/receptionist recommended that I go to the emergency room to see a doctor. Even though it wasn’t an emergency, we headed there. I felt really bad standing in line next to people who were a lot worse than I was. I definitely just wanted to leave and apologize for being such a sissy but Mikaela got me through the line and into a less emergency orientated waiting room.
I finally got to see a doctor who was a bit of a jerk. He didn’t seem pleased that I couldn’t tell him myself what was wrong with me and just had this attitude that I didn’t really like. He prescribed me a bunch of things to get from the pharmacy and also gave me the go ahead to see a specialist. So we headed to the place where the specialist was and waited in another line to make an appointment for Thursday.
I now wish that I hadn’t said anything and just sucked it up. It was a waste of a day, a waste of time and I’m just grumpier about it now. I didn’t go get the meds that the doctor prescribed because I feel like he didn’t have a clue about anything and I don’t want to go see the specialist on Thursday.
