Yeah, I feel traumatized just by hearing about other people's experiences.

it's pretty bad in australia too. i didn't go to doctors much in europe but the ones i saw in bulgaria were decent. dentists who worked on my busted wisdom tooth in 2019 were good too. i mean, it didn't even cost that much, either.

the healthcare industry is so fucked up by the cartel conspiracy that exists in most english speaking countries. the same applies to the law industry as well. they are thick as thieves, and serve their association in front of the customer, and the association serves the corporations and oligarchs.

It’s honestly really frustrating. I’ve never had any issues with healthcare in Türkiye. Even private hospitals are pretty affordable, and emergency services are always free. I had a friend without insurance who got by just fine, she treated most of her health problems as emergencies and went through emergency services, so she didn’t have to pay anything.

yeah, i'm not surprised based on what i saw of medicine in bulgaria and serbia, next door.

there's something really wrong with the advanced liberal democratic "first world" countries. i've heard other things from others about this that many other countries are better.

oh yeah that reminds me, when i was travelling to england for the first time in late 2012, i ended up staying in a beijing 1950s era hotel with this english girl who was pregnant and going back to england to get medical care with the "better" NHS... so uh. yeah, i can believe that australian doctors were already worse than british ones at that time. i'm sure it's all about the same now, and not much different to USA.

the richer the country, at this time, the worse the medicine, it seems. and probably the food, which is part of how it happens, because people become stupified by toxic food, staring at flickering screens all day programming them to just agree with whatever they are told. so they just keep on reducing the reality until it gets so thin everyone starts to go "hang on, have i been missing something here?"

"there's something really wrong with the advanced liberal democratic "first world" countries."

I completely agree with that. When the government gets richer, you would expect the quality of life for individuals to improve, with better access to good-quality food, affordable prices, and more. But it never works that way.

yeah, i think that the appearance is retained but the reality is steadily eroded by endless expansion of bureaucracy and the increase of corporate and NGO corruption funnelling more and more resources out of what people need, towards the benefit of these disgusting perverted megalomaniacs want it for.
