The healthcare system

We are very happy with the public healthcare till now .

The moment you feel sick Nova go to the El Fraille centro salud they help you fast and its so near to us .

Even if you don't have an appointment you can always go ( sometimes have to wayt a bit ) . But they always look and take good care of you .

Hope youre taken good care of and soon be 200% again .

With something like this, though, E, the problem is that is that it's not classed as an emergency. Nova would wait about 3 months for a specialist appointment to confirm the diagnosis and after the confirmation, she would then wait at least 6 months for an operation.

Now 9 months isn't actually at all bad for a state system, but something like this is immediately and incredibly disabling on a level that can hardly be lived with ... you can't use your hands! After 9 days it's impossible, let alone 9 months!

If you had no choice, of course, the health service would have to do, but mercifully she does have that choice.
