I've fortunately not needed much medical help here in Croatia but I think the local GP did save my life. I got carbon monoxide poisoning from a blocked stove flue and it turned to pneumonia. I put off going to a doctor as I had not managed to sign up for the state health insurance service. This was due to an admin. delay with Hungary, where I had previously lived. Croatia needed a form from Hungary to say I was no longer a member of their scheme. Anyway, eventually I went to my neighbour who took me to the village doctor. I was very weak at that point but he treated the pneumonia and I recovered. They only charged me the same as a local would pay (a couple of euros) so I need not have worried about getting a huge bill.
@@babyboomerinbosnia Yes, in the end I got the British Embassy in Budapest to help and they did eventually provide the required form. I pay about €100 a month. That is one of the conditions of temporary residency.
The steel fragment really did a number on your finger! The medical process sounds relatively "painless". This is the difference between corporate medicine and non-corporate medicine. The situation in the US is quite different, where everything is about profit and one can be bankrupted by medical expense. Thanks for sharing.
They have a good system, here I think. Crazy to think that a totally dysfunctional country can have something like this that many western countries don't?
I’m glad your ok. Please make sure you got tetanus shot. I once had an injury in my point finger I have to rush to emergency. They treated it and made sure I got tetanus shot.

It wouldn't be this fast in the UK that's for sure

That sounds a very scary experience.. Super to know that everything worked out. Are you now covered with Croatian stare healthcare?

Looks sore, glad you got all sorted from the attack of the Brillo Pad ;)
Not what I had planned but hopefully back to normal soon

Hello, I got a Tetanus shot, so ✌️ all should be well 😀
who would have thought that that metal gadget could cause such an injury, oh my...
Did it slice you to the bone or something? Careful it doesn't get you by the throat next time.
David I don't think it hit the bone thankfully. As for the throat, well ....
