I tried to use the NHS...

with a cold and a raspy voice, I went to the Olivais Health Centre!
with the European Health Insurance Card? best see your registry here...
(fortunately I was and even had an assigned doctor!)
could even get an appointment, it was just a matter of waiting a few hours...
but, once again, I did not meet the doctor...
he was 2 hours late when someone came to tell us he was just arriving...
and 2 hour later I left and the gentleman hadn't arrived yet!
he was probably doing a few extra hours in his private clinic...

with a service like this, those who can end up escaping the Public System!
and only the poor and retired are left, and they don't protest that much...
the system worsens and disappears... and the doctors keep making money!
