Healthcare in france in the 1970's?

Question

What was it like being treated in a french hospital in the 1970's.

e.g. were the docotors bad, were you forced treatment

Answer 1

The French Medical System is the best in the all world.

Some patients in the US are treated by French surgeons.

It was the same in the 70's.

I am shocked to see that you used "Forced treatment".

France has never been an Eastern Europe country.

I think you should go out of your country sometimes !

Answer 2

My family lived in France in the very early 70's, as well as from 1975 to 1979. My mom had eye surgery done, and from what I gather it was state-of-the-art at the time, and the equivalent in the States would not have been an option for financial reasons.

Answer 3

I have got some kind of ''forced treatment'' fetish?

Answer 4

Forced treatment? Maybe in mental hospitals but not in regular ones.

I lived in France in the early seventies and again in the early eighties and I'll take french healthcare over ours any day. The last time we visited there we ended up in the emergency room when my wife got one of her major migraines. She got the same treatment she gets here and it cost us about $75. instead of $5-700 here.

And the cost is not the only reason I like their system better. Of all the doctors I've dealt with I've like the french ones better overall.
