"I came with two issues and the doctor honestly suggested me to go to the hospital first, for both of them, without letting me pay. After I was rejected from the hospital, because they perhaps felt my emergency was not so urgent and surely because I was without a doctor's recommendation, I went back to his study. He advised me to get back to the hospital and almost apologised for the rejection (but I won't hold him responsible for the despicable state of the healthcare system). Then, he suggested me to take an appointment with a specialist via doctoranytime, which I will do, even if seeing private doctors out of any insurance schedule is costly and more US American than European, but I really suffer. One of the reasons why I won't stay in Greece is its non-health non-care non-system, though I praise the nurses, doctors and administrative staff of its hospitals, who are doing an amazing job without the support they deserve."
