Re: He
It's seems BMG is in the US. In the US most of us simply can't go to our local doctor and ask to speak to a specialist.
Umm why not? this sounds silly to me.

Re: He
damn im glad i dont live in America.
Lol minimum and obligatet insurance costs about 6 EUR, and free for people in school up to the age of 26 (still classifiable as students). the minimum insurance coveres about everything and some things only up to 90% and you haveto use generic drugs (cheep knockoffs lol ) if they are available on minimum insurance.
3 ways this would play out in my country
1. You go to your local doctor she sends you to a specialist to conduct tests.
2. You go to your local doctor and she dismisis the symptoms you demenad a second opinion you go to a specialists and he conducts further tests
3. You skip the local doctor and get an appointment at the specialist directly might increase your waiting line a bit.
All free or only costs 10% of the actual costs tough in rare cases if you have better insurance then the obligatory minimum it costs nothing, if you are a student its free.

Re: He
Well the last time i was in a hospital i had a broken ankle, was totaly surprised by the diligance and service all i always heard was people complaining about lines (i tend to stay away from doctors if possible).
When i came in i was limping came to the chek in girl proceeded to hand out my insurance card in that moment a nurse came behind me with a bead tld me to lie on it gave her the card, she wheeled me to the diagnostic 5 minutes wait time got in told me to get an x ray got wheeled to the x ray place waited for 10 minutes got my x ray, waited anoter 10 minutes then they wheeled me back to the first doctor with the x ray in hand waited for 5 minutes got in the doctor said i can have a cask if i want but that it should heal naturally because it was only cracked the cask could do more harm then good. I hate cask so i dint get one had one before took it of on my own after 7 days.
Had nothing to complain about i could have been lucky and there was no line.
The latest experience i had with hospitals was when a friend an older guy who sometimes works for me and sleeps in my garage although he has a good house lol, had internal bleeding in his stomach caused by some bacteria, by chance i went into the garage and i found him half dead called 112(911), the ambulance arrived in half the time it took to answer all the stupid questions the dispatchers had (got routed to 3), he then died 2ice on the way to the hospital they revived him of course loll, stayed for 20 days had all kinds of examinations got poked in all holes got 2 kinds of pills for 6 months and he only had minimum insurance the bill he later had to pay was 300 EUR the ride to the hospital (a limo would have been cheaper).
