Doctor visit today

August 11th, 2010 at 06:30 am

Not because I was sick but he likes to see me when my prescriptions need renewing. nz$30 for the signature and $9 to the pharmacist. Happily all three medecines are subsidized. Then in the afternoon I was called in to work at the shop becuase someone else had gone home sick. So I earned the money back.

    In Nz all hospital visits and surgery is free but there is a long waiting list. You can get private health insurance, but usually only higher income people are offered it thru work. GPs and dentists are in private practice, but there are subsidies for low income peopel to visit them. All doctors and dentists are free for children. A lot of people gripe about the quality of the public service but I have always found I am treated very well. I am always offered generic drugs if it's to my financial advantage.
