Healthcare in Germany

My German husband, who has private insurance, had his gallbladder removed laparoscopically 4 years ago, then had an abscess removed every year, and a week ago he had open surgery and a ton of antibiotics.......🤬.

Initially, he should have had open surgery, since he had the most severe inflammation! But it was his family “doctor” who let it get that bad.

And as newcomers, we have no chance of getting quality healthcare at all. I’m undergoing all my examinations in Belarus now, and I haven’t seen such modern equipment in my region of Germany!!!!! And our orthopedists are simply superb! They turn the computer monitor toward you and show you the MRI scans, pointing out all the problems! Then they explain what preventive measures to take to avoid surgery!☝️
