Overall, I felt like the care I got there was very good. They did bloodwork, x-rays and put in an IV and hydrated me with saline. Everyone was very nice and very professional. I have a few tips: the only part that was really chaotic was figuring out how to register; you take a number but you also have to fill out a form. so if you go here and they call your number, ask them if you need to fill out a form. We ended up waiting for about four hours for them to call my name or the number I had and then I was informed that they wouldn't call it unless I had filled out the form, but no one had told me that. But I want to reiterate that once I got seen by a doctor and triaged, I felt like the care was very professional and good. One other tip: there is no water fountain here. And the machines that sell bottled water do not take credit cards so make sure you have coin in euros so you can buy water during your wait. Please note that this is a busy public city hospital.
