I would never ever complain about the Polish healthcare. The oncology clinic in Warsaw was the one of the pioneers in treating GIST(rare type of stomach cancer) with then-new Glivec - Initially, my father has been given less than a year after being diagnosed with GIST. He has been alive and very well for over 8 years now after the diagnosis, having had two operations and taking a box of Glivec(~$3000 USD box) every month. The hospital even pays for his train tickets to Warsaw so he can get his medicine every month. He has never paid anything for his treatment, that's all national healthcare system. And yes, the waiting rooms get a bit crowded - who cares, he still gets the best cancer treatment in the country,for free. As a kid, I always dreamed of living in America - now I wouldn't want to do it even if someone paid me to. Nope. |
