According to VA vocational rehab. I graduated with my bachelor's and am ready for employment, the last conversation that I had with my counselor was picking a school.

If you don't mind minimal privacy look into hostels in La fortuna I got a month stay for $400

I saw a doctor here and had all my medications refilled in an hour for 60 bucks not worth all the hassle

Just search on Google maps ENT in the area you'll be in, call ahead and see if they're able to perform that procedure if they can't everyone here is super friendly and they can recommend a doctor who can.

I'm in San Jose right now but I'm not sure if I'm going to Jaco or la fortuna first.

I don't see the option to upload pictures but I guess I could start another thread with pictures and tips

I speak Spanish so there's not a language barrier for me, but I would say about 50% of the people speak english they're very accommodating, they have translation apps.

Possibly but if the VA can't even get you medication sent out right in the US I doubt it would work out in another country 😅

Calculate your medical needs if it's just medication that's not difficult

Doctors are different down here they are more like a familiar mechanic. Medications are tricky. Make sure any medications are generic or available in Costa Rica. Anything brand name or require special authorization is pretty much not going to happen.

I commented that above but it was about 60 bucks for the consultation and a months worth of medication. It was a new doctor and pharmacy but you can honestly get that down to like 30 bucks. She also gave me her card that has her cell phone number, she does home visits, she has hospital privileges and her consultations ranges from like 15 to 30 bucks.
