ER

I tripped and hit my chin on the pavement today, so I went to a hospital, since the cut looked kind of big. They did charge me for the visit (Italians just pay into a government-run health care system, so they don't pay when they go to a Dr.). The nurse asked the Dr. why I had to pay, and the Dr. said it was because I was American. However, the total price for the visit and 2 stitches, without bringing insurance into it, was $51.03 (35.65 euros). My somewhat recent emergency room visit in the US, not including the price of medication or lab fees, cost over $600.

Victory Is Mine

I have not been charged any fees by Capital One to withdraw Euros from an ATM here. Though, I've only tried getting money from Deutsche Bank so far, because I heard Italian banks charge high fees for everything. So if you want to withdraw money in a foreign country without fees (or just withdraw money from other banks' ATMs), I recommend Capital One. They say they also don't charge fees to use their credit cards overseas, but I haven't tried that yet.
