I would like to hear your experiences with your health and mental welfare from your transitions to the EU from America (but any country works). I’ve just been trying to understand other peoples perspective with chronic illnes, has your health been better or worse? Do specialist, GPS, and the occasional random ER trip been good or bad? America can be tough since Healthcare isn’t cheap here.

    Would you say for ER care or long wait time for specialist? I’ve had to wait like 6 to 8 months to see a specialist at one point

      I’ve had er wait times of 6+ hours for non life threatening but urgent care. Some of my friends back home have been on a waiting list for almost 2 years for mental health.

      For specialists I visited, 6 months at least what pretty standard. For both the cardiologist and gastronomic doctor it was more than 6 months.

        Ahh, would you say those wait times are pretty average? Depending on the hospital and the day it always just kind of varies but it’s amazing when some visits goes smooth and you spend less then an hour or 2.

        That sounds about right, it’s always a couple of months, where did you receive the care?
