In most EU countries it is very hard to reach a doctor in decent time unless you can afford to pay a lot.
So you can suffer for weeks with an infection and high fever because the pharmacies won't sell you antibiotics because you don't have a paper from a doctor.
- lasergyro 2y agoBeen in Portugal and Austria. Never had this issue, public doctors only.
- StormChaser_5 2y agoHere in Ireland I've never had to wait more than a few hours to see a doctor to get a prescription for an infection. Can be a bit harder at the weekend but still seen the same day
- poincaredisk 2y agoIn which EU country do you live? I moved twice and I never had this experience. Visits this routine can be done almost without delay, sometimes directly off the street inbetween scheduled patients.
- johnisgood 2y agoEven in Hungary it is easy to reach a doctor. The difficulty is in finding a doctor who gives a damn.
- macinjosh 2y agoTell me about it. My kid has a chronic condition and we always have better luck being seen immediately by her ped in the US for a flair up.
- tacet 2y agoCan you list some of the countries? I am curious, because in my country i can be seen within few days or call my doctor i need to. There are also consulting doctors that can be reached, if GP is not available. costs about 4 euros per visit.
