WE'RE TRAVELING TO ITACARÉ, BRAZIL A WASTED DAY IN PARADISE (BRAZILIAN HOSPITAL EXPERIENCE)
good morning guys our stay here has been awesome but it's time to move on we are currently on our brazil road trip so we're gonna get in the car and we're going to the next place okay we're on our way to itacare we decided to stop right here and try to look at this lagoon that's nearby so we're gonna try that cacao juice a fruit we're unfamiliar with we might get some juice so we're near by grande still we're doing something a little different today this is not a beach this is a lagoon here thought we would stop by on the way to our next destination and see this lagoon so this is the juice of cacao a fruit we have never tried before not sure what it is pretty sweet a little sour and it almost seems like it has like a syrupy consistency to it it's different than anything we've had before and here's our view of the lagoon right across from the lagoon you can pretty much see the beach so let's go to the beach as well while we're at it now this is really a private beach nobody out here i don't think people come here to go to the beach so for miles this is one of the most beautiful drives there are palm trees all around us we're just on this narrow little sandy road it's kind of hard to drive through because it's almost all sand we think it's meant for the quads the atvs so hopefully we get through it without getting stuck so good morning guys from our pousada in itacare we're about to get breakfast in here pousadas usually come with breakfast so we're excited to see what it's like my wrist is possibly broken i haven't really been able to use it the last few days and don't don't know why so we might have to look for a doctor here this actually looks pretty good and we get a view we're the only ones here wow this is beautiful i like it beautiful setting so what do we have they made sure to put the bug netting over it which is nice eggs some sort of chocolate bread cocinia mini cochinia sausage cheese and meat red watermelon melon coffee and milk liaba juice which is guava juice i think and casual juice good spread and where do you want to sit any place is awesome like that up there that would be cool but no table and then this juice which we think is a guava juice and then some eggs and cheese pretty basic probably get some fruit soon that's a good start we just finished our breakfast we had a full awesome day planned but unfortunately alex is having some wrist issues and we don't know why sorry i'm ruining all ruining all the fun for you guys we're gonna show you some awesome stuff today uh we asked you guys on instagram to help us out to find a doctor or see what we should do go to a pharmacy some people say some have given us addresses for a doctor so we have an address here one of you guys sent us so i think we're gonna try going to the doctor and see what they say and hopefully figure this out because alex can't really use his right hand right now at all like he can't lift a cup of coffee you can't open a sugar packet he can't edit he can't film yeah so this is not good at all and figuring this out in a foreign country is probably not going to be very easy not a lot of people in this town speak english and we don't speak very good portuguese so wish us luck this should be an experience if you didn't know i edit all these videos every day and so if we can't figure out how to fix it it could be the end of the channel can't really type anymore or i'm gonna have to learn how to do this so sadly our first full day in ithaca is gonna be spent trying to figure out what's going on with alex's wrist things work a little bit differently here i guess here in brazil you can go to pharmacies and the pharmacist can help you figure out if you need to go to a doctor or what's wrong so that would be pretty nice if we can do that first and figure out the next steps so pharmacy it is so we were gonna go to some beaches and do some really amazing things that we've heard of around here but because of this we're just gonna go through the town go to the pharmacy and probably spend some of the day in the town so we thought today we'll just show you the town it is pretty cool it has like this hippie beach vibe very colorful it's different than anywhere we've been in brazil so far so it's a sunday and apparently this place is normally packed full of people especially on this main strip where we're walking but right now it's pretty dead there's like no one around as you can see probably but we really like it here this is a beautiful town it has such a good vibe this might be one of my favorite towns in brazil so far i wish we could just hang out for a week or two and just just chill that's kind of a vibe here it's like beach chill out but we have a ton to see in brazil so we won't be here that long we are moving at a fast pace so in each place we're going we only have a few days unfortunately i'm sure there's a lot to do here you could easily spend a week look this is carved out of a tree like a palm tree that is like the roots the bottom of the palm tree i think and they made it into his hair that's pretty cool all right there we have arrived with the persona said pharmacia for doesn't know english i don't know can we go right now and they will see him is there anything open right now today no not now this is oh no what is the name of the place we will go tomorrow since all the clinics are closed on sundays we've made the decision to go to a hospital we think he might need an x-ray so we'd probably have to go to the hospital anyway since we haven't really explained it yet my hand doesn't really move suddenly it's kind of hard to close my fingers and i can't really move it from side to side it hurts a lot when i do anything with it can't really sleep can't do anything so we gotta address it and the weird thing is we don't know how it happened there was no sudden accident or anything it just happened over time so we gotta figure this out hospital experience in brazil here we come never thought we'd be doing this just parked and now it's raining so i guess this is a good day to go to the hospital since the weather is not great anyway it's getting worse by the second now it hurts just just to have it down like a regular human it hurts so everyone keeps telling us that the healthcare in brazil is free obviously for the citizens it's free but i don't know if it's free for tourists luckily we have travel insurance but we've never used it before so we don't know how it works really so wish us luck we have no idea how this is gonna go so we haven't had much luck with english yet but we're checking in kind of told her by hand signals that's what's really good what's going on so she asked for the document and now she's filling out a form and then i'm guessing we wait fingers crossed so i ended up needing an x-ray but they didn't have an x-ray because it's a very small town so we have to make a drive for about an hour 20 minutes to go to a hospital that has an x-ray almost everything closes on sundays so this is the wrong day for this we just stopped at an acai place along the way there's always room for acai we're just on the side of the road like off the side of the highway i don't even know if we can park here look at how we're parked traveling down this road and we saw this so we parked is now we can start our hospital road trip right here with mango and banana that mango looks amazing two dollars now this is the waiting room so here we are in the waiting room we don't know how long this is going to take they made us take off our masks and put these on instead that they provided alex has no words he's in pain my mind isn't working right now i just want to get this fixed it was a long drive to get here we drove to ilias and it took it seemed like about two hours but it was a gorgeous drive and we saw that there's a lot of cool things to see on the way here so maybe we'll stop on the way back hopefully if this doesn't take too long we don't know how long this is going to take because this is a public hospital it's official he's a patient we stopped really quickly at a churrascaria where we've been trying to come for a while they have a bunch of different kinds of meats it's basically a brazilian barbecue and we're getting something to go so we're not having a full experience of it but we're getting some picanha some rice some fries some salad and we're bringing it back to the hospital so it's gonna be probably about a two hour wait to be seen it looks like there's about five people at the whole hospital like waiting to be seen but still it's taking two hours i don't know why but we're just gonna eat really quickly but take it there to make sure that we are there when they call my name so for a 65 rail or about 12 we got all this food there are six of these pots of food salad these beans which are really good we've never had those before fries meat must have been what's at the bottom oh there's something oh i don't know what that is and then rice at the bottom and we wait making the best of it we decided to make ourselves a bowl with all those things so there's rice the picana and beans there's some salad that we have to add on there that's really good and we figured out what this is it's actually super good it's plantains cooked plantains or banana it's very sweet and then it has furofa on it we think it's pretty good how was it very good actually this is enough to feed a whole family of four probably so we've tried to make the best of this boring day it's turned out all right it's not over yet though yeah we'll see when we get the news he's gonna be getting an x-ray and that'll give us some answers all right it's been about an hour and a half i've been waiting in the waiting room this whole time i decided to come up to the car and we'll see how long this takes here he comes hello finally let's see what he says i'm nervous he's got x-ray pictures all right what's the news oh well hopefully they're right they said it's not broken or fractured or any of that this is my hand okay and it says nothing's wrong it's just a muscle thing they they don't see anything so they don't really know but it's not the bone it's probably just a muscle a tendon something like that so they gave me some meds for the inflammation and he said keep it in a uh what i've been keeping it in like a cast not a cat or whatever it's called embrace and it should be better in a in a week he says if i use these medications that it's just like a muscle or tendon thing but i can barely move it so so let's hope that's right wow this whole day just to figure that out huh i mean it's good news that it's not broken it's good to rule things out it's good that i could be back to normal in a week maybe something we have to go get these meds tonight or do they have them here uh they don't have them here so if we see a pharmacy open we'll get them tonight these and then anything else so i'm gonna well that's it just some kind of they wanted to give me a shot in my butt i was like no you
