Today we learned about how to navigate the health system here as a foreigner. Grandma wasn't feeling well today, but we discovered that no ordinary doctor would see her because she wasn't on national health care. Even though we offered to pay these doctors cash or give them our insurance card, they would not see Grandma. Finally we found a private doctor who was happy to take our cash, see Grandma, and fill her prescribed medicine right there in his office! If any visitors ever get sick again while visiting, we know were to take them. :)
