Common misconception, Terri. It actually covers you for all treatment needed, as long as it's within the realm of a tourist/business visit and not if you're resident there.

It doesn't have to be emergency, it only has to be treatment that is needed now and is unplanned. For instance, if you lose some medicine that you take and you need a replacement, then the EKUZ will cover you on the same basis as a local resident, even if it's not an emergency.

Hahaha! What a surprise, he couldn't fake the documents easily, so he's given up ;) How disappointing, I thought you'd at least take the time to post them.


There's a very good reason why, and that reason is the only person to have defended you.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


The answer is obvious to everyone here.

Still, let's wait for him to forge a Polish birth certificate now.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]

One can only wonder why you're so desperately defending him.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


Taking your time, aren't you?

Life / I'm British in Poland and I think that it's time to go back to the UK! [240]


How absolutely strange. All the posters with a connection to Poland are actually in agreement for the first time, which says a lot about this troll.

Still, I'm just waiting to be told that I don't know how it is in Poland...

Travel / Poland - never again [593]

Yes. Post it. We're all waiting to see it.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]

Yup, agreed. Absolutely pathetic.

Look at his other posts - a clear agenda to portray Russia as innocent and not having done anything to Poland, while downplaying the significance of Katyń.

Case closed, I think. The strange stories simply don't add up, and he seems remarkably comfortable with this forum for a new user.


Given that both stories were clearly invented (how strange - if you google "Private health insurance Poland", Medicover is the first link...), then both you and 'Rich' have both shown that you don't know how health care works in Poland. As anyone that actually knows Poland can tell you, not only is basic care at first contact doctor free for everyone regardless of insurance, hospitals will treat people first in an emergency situation before worrying about payment.

But 'Rich', please post your birth certificate.

Yet his Polish was good enough to walk into a school and talk to not only the security guard (to let him in) but also to the school management to allow him to talk to kids. I can only speak for where I work, but if some elderly man turned up speaking broken Polish, he would never get in the building.

Astonishing how his story (doesn't) add up!

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


Please do.

Life / I'm British in Poland and I think that it's time to go back to the UK! [240]


I hope for the same. It's actually not far away from completion, it only needs a highway through Slovakia and you've got a highway from Gdańsk to Athens through Serbia. No reason why Serbia wouldn't become (again) an important trade centre once such a highway is complete.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


See, Johnny, if you're going to make up stories, it's worth knowing a thing or two about how private medical insurance works in Poland. In your case, simply googling "private medical insurance poland" won't tell you how Medicover actually works, which is why we know your story is such obvious nonsense :)

Still, you seem curiously desperate to defend this character when people living in Poland have already repeatedly exposed him as a poor liar. I wonder why?

Life / I'm British in Poland and I think that it's time to go back to the UK! [240]


Crow you madman, that made me spit tea all over my screen!

But all Brits, really? Would you also kick me out, even though I quite like Serbia and Serbian history? :(

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


I have to respect the effort he's putting into this, but does he really expect us to believe that he cut all contacts with his family back home, even when his father (by his own claim) helped him leave in the first place?

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]


Except those guns made in Radom in the 1960's were Russian designs, not Polish.

I have to admire the storytelling here, but as always, your story falls on the incorrect facts based on a very limited understanding of Poland from Wikipedia.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


Yet you were able to...

a) walk into a school
b) explain your intentions without getting arrested
c) talk to a class of kids
d) visit two medical facilities (where receptionists are not known for speaking English)
e) ascertain that they wouldn't accept your insurance and that they wanted cash only

and so on, despite barely being able to string a sentence together in Polish and making a mistake that *no* Polish speaker would make? In fact, Kaprys, did you notice that he made another mistake with "ty wiesz", one that clearly points at him as an English speaker? (don't say it out loud, better to catch him out again and again).

Seriously, do you think we're stupid?

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


If it's who I think it is, then the guy has a lot of issues, all going back to how Poland "unfairly" treated him. He does it every so often, and the way that he's (poorly) researched some obscure figure from Polish history has his fingerprints all over it.

Either way, he could at least do his research properly next time, and he could also try and stay away from Polish citizenship threads at the same time.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]

Not a surprise, really. Either way, the way that he's destroying the reputation of a well known Polish scientist is disgusting.

What's the game, Roggers?

Life / I'm British in Poland and I think that it's time to go back to the UK! [240]


Sadly, there's probably nothing that can be done. PF doesn't care, and the guy behind this probably isn't even in the US. Last I heard, he was in some awful Middle East hellhole where they keep your passport and where you simply can't leave without permission.

Still, his hatred towards Poland for not giving him a Polish passport is incredible.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]

By the way, another nail in the coffin of this troll - he was talking about the UB, yet it had long ceased to exist by 1966. Clearly he's not doing his homework too well, to go along with the lack of Polish skills and heavy use of Google Translate.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]

No doubt he'll accuse you of being pedantic and picky before claiming that the clinic had no doorbell, or something.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]

Cool story bro.

Life / I'm British in Poland and I think that it's time to go back to the UK! [240]

Nice to know that you've just confirmed the European stereotype of Americans lacking in manners. Not sure that rudeness is anything to boast about, to be honest.

But well, nice to see you're still using Google Translate.


As a tourist? Did you walk uninvited into a court to go along with your uninvited visits to schools and hospitals?

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


I find his comments to be pretty insulting to be honest, especially the part where he suggests that Polish clinics and hospitals won't treat you unless you show them the cash first, which simply isn't true. And the ridiculous comments about bathrooms in schools not having doors - that, if anything, was clearly meant to offend and insult.

Still, respect to him for impersonating the child of a well known Pole. Clearly Roggers has way too much time on his hand in the desert.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


You would, given that you support the disruption of this forum daily.

Travel / Poland - never again [593]


You did a lot of walking into random places uninvited, didn't you? You walked into a school uninvited, you walked into a hospital despite having nothing wrong with you, anything else you did uninvited?

Life / I'm British in Poland and I think that it's time to go back to the UK! [240]


And at the university!


It's painfully obvious given that he didn't mention one particular form of address in educational circles that always struck me as odd. Wonder why? Oh, he's not Polish.

edit: And I see that he doesn't know how to use "ty" correctly, as he's made the typical mistake of English speakers when writing in Polish. Painful.

Life / I'm British in Poland and I think that it's time to go back to the UK! [240]


Hahahahaha. Well done on proving that you don't speak Polish ;) That's straight out of Google Translate!

Life / Is time on Poland's side? Unsustainable future. [21]


Indeed. You'd think that for someone so keen to tell us about himself, he'd explain how he was able to just jump on a train to the West, but clearly not.


From what I understand, a young single man who had just finished higher education would have zero chance of going unless he was very well connected. The regime wasn't going to let someone go who was educated and would almost certainly stay in the West, especially with badly needed technical skills. Not to mention that his story simply doesn't add up - as you say, you didn't just go to the Radom train station and ask for one ticket to the West.

I think things did liberalise a bit under Gierek, but there was no way Gomułka's regime was going to let people go freely.

Still, it should be easy for him to explain how he obtained the passport.
