Okay, so I wanted to share my story to see how other people would handle it. A friend of my wife called and said she cut fingers with a blender real bad, so blood is everywhere. The husband is away, little kids around, 1-2-3 = Cut.

So she doesn't speak Polish and asked my wife to help. So she took her kids and met my wife at the ER at Komorowskiego. Apparently, in the ER they only have 'internista' who wouldn't do stitching ... So they jump back to taxi and go to the ER at Wroclawska - very slow registration, those who just got off the ambulance lay down in the hallway waiting without any sign of help or ETA on being seen...

All this time her hand's been bleeding, they tried all they could to stop it, 2 little kids ready to fall asleep. So my wife asked if there would be any ETA on getting help - " nie wiem nic " was the answer ...

I was at home with my boys when my wife called me to check on the internet if there was any other services available. So I tried Szpital Uniwersytecki - waiting time 4 hours was the answer...

Then I finally found a number 19-439 where you could request for private services. Again, all the private medical units you could come visit to get help work up to 20:00 max, then you could try ask for a doctor who'd be able to come and fix you, they work till 22:00.

This is a deep fingers cut, what would you do if there was a real health issue?

My message is - something is pretty sick in the system. When I left Ukraine I thought, if I pay tax here, they demand enormous financial gains for tax purposes from a single non EU worker in the company, I'd be using a EU level of medical services.

I'm not talking "rural" Ukraine, but anywhere in the town of 200k peeps in Ukraine you need a bleeding arm fixed you'd get immediate attention for as low as $40-50.

May be I'm knocking the wrong door? May be there is a better service with a reasonable medical insurance to some how jump between the hoops?

Apparently no, gotta deal with it.

Let me officially take my pink glasses off.

Thanks.
