Valencia 8

Where QB is released and …

The doctor wanted us to have a USB file for our USA doctor – led to an 90 minute delay in discharge. Hospital does not stock them so borrowed from some staff member.

Discharge process: None, handed us the USB, shook my hand, yes, formal, and said goodby, NO paperwork or forms or payment. Five nights, six days, nada.

Hotel manager gifted flowers for QB return
Then they brought to room

Gave us a report in Spanish of the visit (3 pages) and a one page form of lots of Rx stuff. Hospital does not have a pharmacy -only a distribution of special needs stuff – so off to a regular one. Eight items on the list, each in overly large quantities, filled in five minutes at the first local pharm I went to. Total bill: about $75 Clearly Spain is the place to get sick. Ex-pats have told us so. One can buy into the medical system here for a relatively low cost.

Cremate de ron

This one made from capsules and beans added to the coffee rum lime sugar and a touch of cinnamon. Apparently a drink typical of Valencia.

    Hopefully, that is correct, but Muru got sent a bill from his lawyer six months after being released from a Barcelona lockup.

    It wasn’t a huge bill, and we ignored it, but time moves differently in Spain.

      Doctor said no bill and they have no contact info for us other than the hotel. Maybe a question of emergency. When I researched charges in Spanish hospitals emergency care came up as free. Other care not as clear.
