/pol/, I am a Brazilian doctor that works in a favela in south Brazil in socialized medicine.
I will answer your questions about Brazilians, favela, poverty and stereotypes.

Why is Brazil such a shithole?

First off, proof?
Secondly, I'm going to Brazil on a class trip at the end of this semester. Any general tips for travelling down there?
What's the most common illness you treat down there?
How has Zika made your job more difficult?
Are Brazilians leery towards doctors?
>>70725968
How does it feel to know that you'll never be white?
>>70725968
Is there any opportunity in the favelas at all?
>>70725968
Do you think high import taxes are a large part of what's wrong with your country?

The population is completely shit.
Their dream is to get some sort of diagnosis so they can retire early. They all live on benefits and basic income and reproduce like rabbits.
Everyday at least half of my appointments is some bullshit excuse to miss work and nothing more.
It is utter bullshit.
When you sterilize your surgical instruments in a nearby stream, do you often take time to catch some fish for your patient?
>>70725968
is this an accurate portrayal of the average brazilian?

I am not here to help you masturbate Japan.

What kind of proof?
Also, you will have to tell me where in Brazil you are going. I never been to Rio, for example.
The most common illness I treat has to be high blood pressure. But the second most common is repetitive strain injury. In the south we have many meat productions of chicken and swine meat. Those workers that work in the line destroy their elbows and shoulders constantly.
Zika is almost non existent in the south. But we are taking extra care in all pre-natal screens.
Yes they are leery, Most doctos are shitty people so they are right to do so. I am the only doctor in my city that does all the hours he is supposed to work.

It is a mix of sadness and envy. At least when I go to Europe I will cuck the hell out of you guys.

Only for manual labor in meat factories with minimum pay (where I live. With no job growth prospect and a lot of damage to your health. The chance of getting out is almost non existent. Also because they reproduce really early so they are bound by children since like 17 and have to stop studying to work.

Yes. But is not near as much of a problem as corruption and bureaucracy. I bought a amazon watch last year, it took 3 MONTHS to go trough customs.

>fish could live in such conditions
>>70726256
Pretty much. And I wish I was joking.
>>70726309
Some places are. But Uruguay, South Brazil and Argentina are pretty chill.
>>70725968
how many gunshots do you hear per hour?
>>70727436
in 2 years working in the ER (like 20 hours per week) I only ever seen one gunshot.
In here the favela is full of poor people, but there is not that much drug trafficking (some teenagers selling weed), so there is not much gun violence.
If I worked in a big city, it would be another story.
