This blog is simply about anything that my mind tells the fingers to jot down. Many times they come late at night, others at work and occasionally in the toilet heading for that big drop. Most entries are about life in the "land of chocolate" and things that I love to do - mountain biking, photography, snowboarding and a bit of running.

Doctor appointment

This is one of the things about Switzerland that pisses me of.

I fell pretty badly on my left chest while snowboarding a week ago, and the pain had failed to go away. Fearing fracture, I decided to have it checked. Off I went to to IFA yesterday but the appointment could only happen today morning - OK, not a big deal.In the afternoon, I felt much and better and this morning I could pretty much moved like normal again. So, I called up the clinic and the cancel the doctor appointment. Now the catch 22 situation - She said: "Yes, we can cancel, but you might still get charged for it. You should have cancelled it yesterday .." - now that's difficult. Though only MAY BE 35 CHF, it still bothers me that first, you need to make an appointment for the next available slot, even when you are in dire pain, second, if you feel better, you are still obliged to pay the doctor. How fair is that????

.... that's life ...
