Word of advice: when in South Africa, never get bit by a bug on a Friday, have it swell on a Saturday and decide to go to the doctor in the afternoon, because doctors are closed. And when you decide that, because your eye is almost swollen shut, you really should go to the doctor on a Sunday - once again, every place is closed. The hospital does not make appointments, only during the week, and you have to go triage instead. Yeah - I will wait until tomorrow, I am not going to triage where they have more important patients to deal with than somebody with a swollen eye. All I need is some anti-histamine and antibiotics. Oh and even if I went to the hospital, there is no guarantee that I would get my prescription filled because all of the pharmacies are closed! Moral of the story: don't get sick on a weekend when in South Africa.
