Well we´re back from the Hospital results and meds in hand. Nicola had her leftovers examined and she had some Amoebas and blood where Amoebas and blood shouldn´t be... So they prescribed an antibiotic, painkiller for abdominal pains and a bacteria replacement for after the antibiotics. She is resting in our very nice Hotel room and we will try and see the beautiful city of Bogota tomorrow!
The whole Colombian health care experience has been amazing the doctor was very friendly and informative, nurses wore traditonal uniforms and we were treated very quickly. The whole thing only cost $101 (Canadian) drugs incl. Paying for medical care definitely changes the whole treatment experience. We thought everything was going to be much more expensive, based on all the American system horror stories we hear in Canada, and we were amazed at how fast a test sample result can come back when you are a customer/patient rather then just a patient.
All in all, in time, Nicola will be back to herself a few days from now and we will back to exploring the Southern Americas... So no need to worry!
