Appointment at the doctors today, had to wear my mask, now wait for appointment at the hospital - see how long that takes - many thanks for checking in
Hi Shaun, useful stuff. Jan is just starting to get our private health set up with ASSSA as I just can't take any more on right now - too many spinning plates. Re speaking Spanish, Jan has been doing Duolingo for 3 years and hers is better than mine in every sense, especially grammatically but I sometime surprise her with the odd words I have picked up. What we will do (among other things) to overcome the lack of Spanish speaking on Camposol is have times when we are together at the villa when we will only speak Spanish to learn from each other and keep fresh. We already do that occasionally for fun in the UK but it doesn't last long, we really need (and want) to improve. My short term plan is to stick with "Yo hablo Español un poco pero ella es fluide" or "uno cava y uno cerveza por favor y ella esta pagando". and point to her after either phrase. 😁👍

Top man Kev and many thanks for your comment and wish you both good luck with the Spanish, I’m still trying to 😂👍
Andalucia has online appointments, you are given a choice of times and dates. Details include name of Doctor and room number, print it off take it with you, patients are seen in strict rotation. Just been for my driving licence renewal at local private doctor. got an appointment for two hours after my call. 50 Euros for medical and the necessary paperwork all doctors spoke English. I agree about learning Spanish I found it very difficult even after attending local college twice a week for free, 2 1/2 hour lessons., but unless you converse daily it is difficult to become profficient.

Many thanks for the information, good to know, wish ours was like that 👍
Well I live in Ireland and after 4hr to see a doctor which was very trying of my patience🤣🤣then at the cost of e165 e60 for doctor e35 prescription e50 medication !! you are not playing the system you can claim so much back from your insurance company you need to look in to it !!
Interesting thanks Shaun. On my last visit to Mazarron medical they wanted me to have a translator but not before that. The security guard got very angry with me as he thought I was filming in there but trying to tell him I was using Google translate,he just growled at me 😅

Different regions do have different rules. Don't take any chances with the eyes Shaun. If they need checking out get them done
Top man Ralph, have to agree, just waiting to see what the hospital say 👍
Interesting thanks Shaun.

The big thaw is underway.
In Spain, “I’d like to check in for my appointment” is not the same as “Book me in for my appointment, please”.
Top man Rob, the big thaw already 🤔 thankfully today it all went smoothly 😂👍
Morning shuan
Top man Grant, good afternoon
