Sorry, if this has already been covered in another thread.
I would be most grateful for feedback re what using Seguro Social medical
care is like, as compared to private care. I have a health condition, so
having to travel far and make extra trips or wait a long time or stand
up while waiting for appointments is hard on me. Also my Spanish
tends to be adequate for people who're making money from me, but
sometimes bureaucrats speak too quickly for me to understand.
For those of you using Seguro Social - do you usually have to
make an appointment in advance ? If so, can the appointment usually
be made over the phone ? How far in advance generally do you
need to book ? Do doctors tend to be more or less on time ?
Is it hard to find a doctor to accept new patients ? I live in a major city. It
is likely I could find a Seguro Social doctor close to me ?
Are Seguro Social doctors co-operative at prescribing something such
as sleeping pills ? I need them due to my medical condition but most
doctors in Mexico are not educated about my condition. Just the same,
private doctors prescribe chemical sleeping pills (except for Farmacia
Similares doctors who only prescribe natural pills which don't help me.)
Have you found the medical people co-operative if your Spanish is
limited ?
Sorry for so many questions ! Thanks in advance !
