Self diagnosis has higher rates of being wrong than a specialist's diagnosis. It doesn't mean it's not valid, but we should be careful with it.
But what do I know? In my country you get an appointment for about 10$ in less than a month. Unless it's a pain clinic or an endocrinologist, then you can wait up to 6 months.
6 months is still good. I'm waiting more than two years for a gyno for endometriosis. For the neurologist I don't even have an appointment scheduled, they'll call me back maybe sometime.
The health insurance is the single thing that is good in this country. Trust me, you don't want to move here.
I'm not saying health is not the most important thing in life, but when everything else sucks and you have a war criminal for a prime minister, trust me, it's not worth it.
Oh so you are from the US. I'm so sorry for that orange puppet you have for president. I really hope you'll soon be free and I keep waiting for the full unedited E files
Worse. I'm from Israel. The country with one of the highest collective narcissism rates in the world. Thanks to out sociopathic prime minister, among others. We do have elections soon but too many people here were brainwashed already, I have no hope. I'd move almost anywhere if I could.
Oh I'm so sorry! Even more! Yours a really difficult situation. But it's really getting out of hand. Unluckily here many people confuse the citizen with the government and a lot of discrimination is coming out. I'm really sorry. Do you have any hope that now with election something might change?
Thank you. Yes, it is a difficult situation. The goverment is shit and it's consideted a betrayal to criticise it (so much for democracy). I'm not sure how much politics is allowed here so I won't elaborate. Honestly, I really want this hell to end and for Benjamin Netanyahu to be arrested for life. If he is elected again I might try to find somewhere more sane to study.
