Sometimes when people come from a country where doctors are expected to push people through and keep costs down, they misinterpret efforts to give them comprehensive care. I felt that way a bit during my recent spate of doctor's appointments and a hospital overnight. But, I have had a low-grade infection for a long time that is now cleared up, and got a lot of tests that I should have had done a couple of years ago. I feel reassured now, which is also important.
