Life / What are your experiences of care for your loved ones in hospitals here? [75]

Merged: Hospitals

Good morning all,

I have recently been drawn into the Polish health system and have had the not so pleasurable experience of dealing with Doctors, nurses and quite a bit of time in hospital. I was diagnosed with cancer and have gone through 3 rounds of Chemotherapy ( all in the Onkologii Hospital In Ursynow, Warsaw )

The experience i had was shocking, the doctors and nurses lacked empathy, especially such a sensitive illness of cancer! I'm all clear of cancer for now but I can't help myself thinking about the whole experience and treatment I recieved ( as well as all Poles ) it was disgusting! For a country that wants to be Westernised, I strongly feel they need to include some lectures in UNI on how to manage people on a humanterian level.

Enough of my vent :)

Who here has had to deal with the Polish health system? And how have your experiences been?

Thanks for Sharing.

Thank you for your response Polsyr. I totally agree with everything you have stated. Especially, that it's much faster and easier to pay the doctor at his private practice to not wait for those ridiculous waiting times.
