Ok, Hungary has it’s flaws, can’t be denied. But it also has its sunny sides, especially when you have a private health insurance…

Went to the clinic to check on my swollen knee today. Had an appointment at 18.00.

18.00 sharp, my name was called out by a nurse. The doc was ready to see me. 18,38 I left the clinic. During those 38 minutes they managed to;

·         examine my knee properly, by a specialist of course

·         make 5 X-ray shots

·         evaluate  the shots

·         get me an appointment next week at a sports hospital (as if  I am an athlete, - haha)

·         give me a prescription of some miracle drug, that the doc warned me to even try to bring over any border…

·         get me a new appointment after the whatever they will do on that sports hospital

·         wish me a good week end

Pretty amazing I think.

Now you say; of course they have to perform, it’s after all a private clinic.

For this service, around the clock I pay only 500 EUR per year. As I don’t pay any other social contributions, I must say this is a bargain.

And as a bonus; I went with public transport, and as always I never have to wait more than 3 minutes for the next Metro. Even if a single ticket now cost 1 EUR. Not a bargain….

Now to elections; they don’t screw things up like in Sweden. 75% for the right wing. They don’t have to flirt with anyone to run their own politic. Including changing the constitution...

Is this a dream country or not??
