NB: My non-Covid gripe:
For me it's yet another doctor (7th or 8th ??), another misdiagnosis, and another failed treatment that I’ve just endured… it’s what I’ve been saying… there are 20-30 common problems that all doctors worldwide can easily diagnose and guide you through to a cure (ie: Milti’s prostate problem where blood in the urine is a dead giveaway) but if you’re unlucky enough to fall ill with something more rare, something they’ve never seen before, something more complex, something they don’t know… you’re well and truly FUCKED in a place like Cyprus!
You’ll never get a diagnosis, proper treatment and cure. So please don’t brag about how great Cypriot doctors are just because they can diagnose easy shit like the measles, the mumps, and the common cold!
We just don’t have true scientists here that’ll bury their heads in the books, or reach out to the international community of doctors and collaborate on diagnosing something that is outside of the norm… they’re fucking useless!
For me it’s been 5 years and counting… still no diagnosis, some two dozen failed treatments, lots of unnecessary suffering and expense, and each time I’m right back to zero again!
I hate to think about the future here… I’ve barely began the “old age” stage and I’m already in medical trouble here… can I continue living on an island that offers no healthcare and no peace of mind, for us?
I really don’t know anymore...
