I went to a Mexican hospital - A sponsored post

Did you know that while The Mister and I were on our honeymoon in Mexico we had to take an unplanned trip to the ER in Cancun?  No?  Well we did.  I woke up from a mid day nap and my eye burned and hurt so bad I was ready to go home early.  {We had only been there three days and had planned on staying ten}

The doctor on our resort couldn’t see anything wrong with my eye and sent via ambulance 45 minutes away to a Mexican hospital.  I was in pain, I was cranky, and I was a little nervous going to a hospital in Mexico.

The nurses there were AMAZING!  They put me immediately at ease and tried to make me as comfortable as possible.  Not only did one stay with me the entire time we were waiting to be seen by an eye doctor {yeah the nurses called in an actual ophthalmologist for me}, but they made sure that EVERYTHING was OK and taken care of for me.

It was because of those nurses calling in an actual board certified ophthalmologist that The Mister and I were able to stay on our honeymoon and enjoy ourselves.  {I had a scratched cornea; apparently it is very common and extremely painful}  The ER doctor wanted to just give me some medicine to treat for that, but the nurses insisted on calling in the eye specialist.  It was because of them that I was able to not only relax, but enjoy the rest of my honeymoon.
