I just came back from the mountains, fresh and filled with happiness, it was truly an amazing adventure which I will share with you all in my next publication but right now I wanted to share what happened when I came back. This is a personal family story that has been going on for quite some years now and I decided its best if I share it here, someone might think twice about something in the future related to health care.
The Story
I will keep it short.
Six years ago my mother became ill, she started fainting for no reason and since that day she has been unable to work. From that day forward my family has seen some hardship but we managed to go by thanks to my father. He has made so many sacrifices for the family, working day and night before I started working.
Once my mother became ill she has visited countless of doctors and hospitals and has been given countless of prescriptions for a wide range and variety of pills, including anti depressants and other heavy stuff.
The truth is that till this day forth we don't really know whats wrongs with her. She is quite fine when she is at home but as soon as she starts to do any labor, things go wrong.
What Happened Today
Today we went to have her do some Health checks and something strange showed. It seems that she had generated a small tumor that wasn't there before. Seems that it had formed as she took so much medication. the countless pills didn't do anything for six years and now she has to go through an operation to get the tumor out. Good thing its not life threatening, although this isn't the main topic I wanted to discuss.
The doctor
We visited a private hospital which is covered by the health insurance we pay monthly. The doctor that checked my mom told her she had a tumor and had to be operated ASAP, in the meanwhile he bragged about how he was the best doctor in the Country that deals with this sort of stuff. He told us a fixed price before starting to brag about himself, afterwards telling us a different price.
The thing is that the Health Insurance should have the operation covered and totally free, although the professional doctor had a different point of view regarding that.
Overall
I just wanted to share with you all that the Health Care system has turned to shit these days and some people would milk you for your money, caring little to nothing about your health. The dude told us it was some extreme shit that she was going through and he rushed us, afterwards we found out things were perfectly fine and non life threatening.
