William has been complaining about his right ear. There was a small pimples that appeared in his ear. He kept rubbing it for days and now it was an infection.

I went to a local pharmacy and spoke to a very nice pharmacist. She got William antibiotics. She paid with her own money to get William weighed so that she could calculate the proper dosage. The next day I came back to get painkillers for William. She still remembered William’s weight. The medications cost very little, about a few bucks. However, they are not flavored and they taste awful.

The Portuguese word for being ‘nice’ is simpatica.
