Finally I arrive, I comment you that the post is very interesting because of the situation of "double bind" in which health care in general is in the whole world. In Cuba the state management is totally ineffective, and here the privatization of health and its management with mercantile criteria is degrading patient care day by day. In a large hospital such as the Gregorio Marañón in Madrid, it is not uncommon for there to be no towels or a lack of sheets for admitted patients.
Or with computerization and remote care, absurd things can happen, as happened to my mother. Two months after having her eyes operated on, she was called by telephone to have her eyes checked. It didn't take much to explain the illogicality of the situation to the doctor on the other end of the phone. The situation was resolved with a face-to-face appointment.
I really regret the situation in which you health workers in Cuba work, let's hope that the health care here does not reach such extremes of deterioration, but it seems that there is interest in it.
A big hug @dahpilot.

It’s always a pleasure to read you, my friend.
Speechless, right now medicine has become a more commercial than humanitarian sector.
The cases of Cuba and Spain are two sides of the same coin. It’s horrifying that such things happen in a European country, like what you mentioned about your mom; it’s illogical, and we could talk all day about it.
Did you know that to practice there I have to wait up to 3 years?
It’s crazy everything we are experiencing. In Cuba, there is no longer a system; this is war medicine and survival. The near horizon doesn’t look very good, at least here
Hi, @dahpilot. What you tell me about the three years I imagined it. In Europe it is increasingly difficult to enter, and one of the ways to do so is not to validate studies. An Ecuadorian friend of mine, a few years ago, had almost none of her medical subjects approved in Ecuador validated. Now, after a decade she is a nurse.
And, regarding the health professions, dehumanization is growing, and I think it is an unstoppable phenomenon... and Cuba, it is very regrettable. I can't tell you much... I see so much talent in Cuba and at the same time the living conditions... It's hard for me to go on, because the world is so unfair.
