Editorial Summary

The creator describes their experience seeking medical attention after feeling unwell during a cruise. After an initial attempt to visit the medical center failed because the facility was closed, the creator returned during operating hours. The medical center is described as resembling a standard medical clinic where the creator completed paperwork and underwent a quick examination including blood pressure and pulse checks. The ship doctor confirmed a positive diagnosis for flu A and provided prescriptions for Tamiflu for both the creator and their roommate. The total cost for the visit included a consultation fee, two treatments of Tamiflu, a COVID test, and a flu test, amounting to 533 dollars. Following the diagnosis, the creator was instructed to quarantine in their room, though they note that there are no physical barriers or tape placed outside the cabin to enforce the isolation.
