Attention to the visits made with the national health service !!!
I booked a visit for flat feet in agreement with the NHS (in public to clarify).
The service was poor to the fullest and I encountered all the serious problems of Italian medical malpractice: staff always nervous and frustrated with work (if you ask them for information they almost answer you badly), presumptuous doctors, lack of indications. The feeling was: you're here just to make us cash!
The hospital is an asylum (very small of people, endless queues for visits, casinos everywhere).
But the worst thing was the visit!
The doctor who visited me had a crazy haste (she had so many people in the queue), she hardly even looked at me and immediately said that I had to have an operation on both feet. He also prescribed an MRI to see if the tendons were worn out (despite telling him they didn't hurt me), the orthotics and other checkups.
The visit did not convince me at all, either because it was done in a hurry, or because the diagnosis itself is not square to me. Practically in a few seconds he decided that I should do interventions, checks, resonances, and possibly another tendon surgery and related physiotherapy (I would have spent years practically). Note that talking to the people in the waiting room, I realized that everyone had the same fate: they had to be operated on (guardacaso).
So, summarizing everything: a quick visit with little professionalism. He prescribes you visits and interventions and tells you to do them all in their hospital (the feeling is always the same: we need to do as many interventions as possible whether you are sick or not, we need to make money, to make us earn money and maintain jobs work)!
Obviously, unconvinced, I went to a good private doctor who was advised to me and, as it happened, he remained practically astounded by what that doctor had told me, telling me that in my case these visits / interventions were useless and would only have created me damage!
So watch out for public hospitals: unfortunately the "mafia" is even in health care. It is not possible that the state instead of taking care of the citizen tries to cheat him by making him do more interventions (or giving him more drugs) as possible! Especially because operating a healthy person, using her as a sick person to make money, is (in my opinion) a very serious thing! For me a case like this is in jail!
