Today the boy who is the dishwasher work in our shop told me that he experiences sharp pains in his abdomen and he nauseates at food.He even vomited twice yesterday night. I think may be he got a appendicitis.
Because I was a doctor in my country. And I found his main symptom is abdominal pain. At first he told me the pain is around the central part of his abdomen. And after 2-3 hours he told me that the pain is between the front of the right hip bone and the belly button.
I told him stop working, and go to see the doctor. But he did not. He just told me he need finished his work, otherwise he will lost some money. I also told him don't come tomorrow. But he said if he feel better, he will come.
My God! Does Money even important than Health? Does anyone have seen people like that?

Hello,cydzzj! money is important for the boy of your story as he requires money for his living and also he will be needing money for his treatment.unless he gets his wage how can he afford for the doctor or for medicine even.so in his case moiney is important no doubt.but in general health is important because health is wealth.thank you.

Sorry, I think may be I have not explain what I want to say clearly, coz my English is really bad.
The first things is in Australia the government offer us free treatment. So we needn't pay for the doctor.
And the second things is this boy's wage is AU$900.00 per week, it's twice as much as mine. So he doesn't short for money. But he still did not want to see the doctor. That's why I can not understand.
And he told me when he went home, he just take some antibiotics and a sort of painkiller which contain morphine by himself.
I really can not guess what he thought.

Health is more important than money. If you are not healthy you can not earn money but rather will spend it for you to get better. So stay healthy to enjoy your money.

yeah i know a lot of people like that in the philippines...money is important to them than health maybe because (from what i had observed) they think it's better to sacrifice themselves than to see thier siblings hungry...poverty is the reason behind this.

Yes, may be so many people in some countries like that. They may think money is the most important things. But this boy is in Australia. He has medcare which can offer him a free treatment for diseases.
So I can not understand what he is thought about.
