While the boyfriend was cutting up vegetables for our wine tasting dinner party on Saturday evening, he cut the tip of his finger off. We were not finished preparing for the dinner party but decided we should take him to urgent care and have it looked at. It wouldn’t stop bleeding. The bandaids were soaked. Turns out he didn’t need any stitches. He just cut off a bit of skin and a bit of finger nail. He’ll be fine in time. We spent about two hours at the urgent care and we experienced just how bad the US healthcare system is. That two hours was the biggest indication that we need universal healthcare in our country.
