*grumble*
Good news first. The positive aspect of health care regulated here in Germany is that when I went to a doc today, with no appointment, just walked in for care, the grand total for my visit was €138. No insurance, even some obscure tests included.
The bad news is that despite me telling him specifically that my eustacian tube has some kind of infection (which were verified by the tests.. "Oh look, the test shows you have a clogged tube on the left side"... "I told you that 30 minutes ago"), he wrote me a script for some crappy decongestant and told me to drink lots of fluids and chew plenty of gum to clear it up. So instead of getting a z-pack and being done with it in 3 days, I'm going to have to look around for a doc that realizes that antibiotics can eliminate the CAUSE of the infection, thereby making the symptoms go away. *grumble*
