Hello Galen, bad experiences with what some politicians here call the "best health system in the world" I have them like many people in Spain. I have had a very bad experience with my father. And more recently my ex-mother-in-law had a heart valve replaced. Two days after the operation she was in great pain, we called the emergency service at 9 pm, the ambulance arrived at 6 am. She stayed in the "emergency room", which is actually a hospital corridor with beds. She was there for several hours when we were told that she had a room, although no one would tell us which floor and room number she was on. Finally she was not in a room, she was in the intensive care unit awaiting emergency surgery. It took us a long time to locate her. Finally she was operated on for the second time, and they put in a pacemaker that did not work. Now my ex-mother-in-law is home and everything seems to be fine. This is just one example of what seems to be a universal phenomenon which is the increasing dehumanization of the world we live in. I know this post is long, but I didn't know how to summarize it more. A hug
Ah yes, here you have a story that many around the world could relate to as they have experienced the same thing personally or through family members. It doesn't make sense in modern society but it's the reality. I understand that advancements have occurred in the medical field, equipment, drugs and techniques...but the systems can't cope with the volume of people and there's many reasons why not least of which is the volume of people!
Dear Galen, this time I am not going to agree with you. I do not doubt that we may be many people on Earth, but at least in Spain health services are degrading at a faster rate than population growth. A hug
Disagreeing is fine...but in this case I agree with you. 😊 😉
