Healthcare in france?

Question

What is it like to be treated in a french hospital.

e.g. are the doctors bad, are you forced treatment.

Answer 1

Much better than in England.  No MRSA for a start!  In Paris they tend to be impatient with you if you can't speak good French.

Answer 2

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

Some patients in the US are treated by French surgeons.

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 3

I had to go to an emergency clinic when I was in France a couple times and had very good experiences.  The nurses, doctors and receptionists were very professional and I was in fast.  I was able to get perscriptions for the medicines I needed (plus one for acedaminaphane - aka Aleve since it's not over the counter in France and I use it for my mild migraines).  The nurse was really polite and even corrected me really nicely when I made an embarassing mistake in French without realized it (I'm fluent but usually only speak in really informal situations so I used a very familiar word instead of proper talk like you would when at the doctor).  I think it would be difficult and maybe more troublesome if you don't speak French... but really for the quality and cost of the care I would recommend going to the hospital if you need to rather then waiting until you get home.

Answer 4

much faster treatments , faster results and more options too (some drugs that are available in France take months to be available im the UK, usually becuase of cost). No treatment willl be forced on you but they don't really look at alternative treatments, only what is scientifically proven.
