Life / Any good Polish films to watch? [112]

The main doctor was not great e.g. denied me my usual comforter ( a bottle with tea) saying I was too big for that (true but I think sudden separation from your family, illness and hospital ordeal are not the best moments to change that) and some other things but I managed to get it off the nurses.

I remember two things:
- being on a cold high table and having my arm put in a metal frame (for IV).
- a member of staff doing inhalations to kids and me looking from around the corner with other kids, the nurse calling my name and come on, you are next and me running away laughing.

I was in hospital in the early 90 as a kid. The staff was great (with the exception of the lead doctor) and the only concern was the visiting times ( very, VERY strict in those times)

I'm not a boomer and he has way more credibility in my eyes than you. For one because he sees Poland as it is and not some fantasy land from the past like you do.

Law / Rejecting Inheritance [44]

May I remind all the people here that that can be easily solved by rejecting the inheritance?

Law / Rejecting Inheritance [44]


1- because it's true.
2- because you claimed something that wasn't true in the Polish legal system.
