[QUOTE="linkster, post: 944547, member: 59484"] May 2017, I tripped and broke my right wrist within sight of Portomarin. I took a taxi to the hospital in Lugo. I received X-rays, and they set my wrist. I they took a copy of my passport when I checked into the ER. I never received a bill. A week later in SDC, I went to the hospital because the cast was very tight. I received x-rays, and had an interpreter escort me around. I was presented a bill for ~$500 when I left which I paid for by credit card. I did need an open reduction with a plate when I returned home 3+ weeks later. October 2017, I had a sinus infection when I got to Ponferrada. I went to the ER early on a Saturday morning. I went into the exam room and explained I needed a script for an antibiotic. The doctor wrote the script. On the way out, the desk wanted me to give them a copy of my passport. I handed my passport to them, but they wanted me to go down the block and return with a photo copy. I just thought I did not understand enough Spanish. The guy walked me out to the parking lot, gave me some complicated directions to a tienda where I could get a copy made, and said IF YOU WANT. I still did not understand, and asked him to repeat it again this time into Google Translate. He did, I reread what he said twice, he just looked at me and smiled (not a wink wink, but just a smile). I left and did not return. I now have an extended array of meds in my kit including antibiotics. I feel like Jost from The Way. [/QUOTE]
