So there have been a few new developments recently. For example, my roommate broke his foot on thursday night, resulting in my first exposure to the Jordanian healthcare system. I was very positively impressed. We got to the ER, and he was immediately treated and casted up, and while apparently by Jordanian standards it was expensive(we intenitnally took him to the one of the best hospitals in Amman, and therefore the middle east) , it seemed relatively cheap to us. We would have gotten out of there even earlier if another one of our friends hadn't decided he wanted to come and chased after us by running througha field and twisted his ankle. So when he did find us at the hospital, he had a potrusion the size of a small apple on his ankle, and had to get x rayed as well.
