If someone was murdered in your nation, how would your nation deal with it?

I read through the comments, both his and others, and i think he's romanticizing the work. And, to be fair, that's easy to do when you know you can leave at any time and pick back up with your well paying career.

People have begun to view voluntourism in a negative light after studies have shown net negative effects, and his situation kind of runs along the lines of voluntourism. Hell, he actually did go to build houses in a poor country.

There's nothing wrong with choosing a new career, nothing wrong with taking a pay cut. But this comes off as just tourism. That's probably why he doesn't tell anyone else there that he's a lawyer.

IMO, all of the doctors and nurses there should lose their licenses for dismissing it as something not serious.

They didn't dismiss it.

They monitored to see if it would be self-limiting. When it became apparent that it wasn't getting better, they sent you to the hospital for further evaluation.

There, you were correctly diagnosed and treated.

Everyone in this case did everything they were supposed to, and they did it in a timely fashion.

How much money did you have saved up before starting this?

Is the money you make from picking enough to cover your monthly bills (rent, utilities, etc.)?

For a healthy person, donating a kidney doesn't put any undue strain on their remaining kidney and their rates of kidney disease later on in life are no higher than the general public.

Kidney failure is usually a result of uncontrolled hypertension/ diabetes, autoimmune diseases.
