      Ja, well. Good luck finding someone to talk to.

      In Germany, if you are seriously sick or injured, you need support from someone who can make demands of the hospital and the doctors, otherwise you get no info and probably not enough treatment and medication. If Mutti doesn’t have anyone actively engaging with doctors and staff, Mutti is pretty much f’ed in proverbial a. Why? Because everyone is overworked and disillusioned and very tired, and there is never enough time or money to treat people properly because of the way our health system has been restructured: to be profit oriented - even public hospitals.

      Still beats what they have in 'murica: at least you can get affordable treatment even as a nobody.
