PSA for anyone stressing about medical bills: After a scary US ER visit (where a doc almost misdiagnosed me with cancer 😰), I now fly home to Portugal yearly for check-ups. 🇵🇹 Why? - US bill: $1,600+ for tests - Portugal: $380 for exams + surgery - US doc said “likely cancer” before biopsy (spoiler: it wasn’t). The stress was brutal—now I trust Portugal’s affordable, calm care. Still love my US career, but my health comes first. 🌍💼 #HealthcareJourney #USvsPortugal #LifeInMemphis #Health
