Living in Germany is dangerous to your health....

Living in Germany is dangerous to your health and other stories could be the title of a book about my experiences living here. It would start out with my visits to doctors, all of which have been unsatisfactory. From the first visit where the anthroposophic doctor was surprised about my request for a physical to his prescribing statins for me immediately when my cholesterol test was a little high (contrary to anthroposophic medicinal practices), to my ridiculous visit to an eye doctor, to the surgeon who spoke like Jesus with Lazarus after an out-patient operation extracted a ganglion cyst from my left leg near the ankle, to my recent experience at the ear, nose and throat clinic of a major hospital where I was simply given antiobiotics and ibuprofen without having my temperature taken or a blood test being done that could, perhaps, ascertain, what was bedeviling me, my experiences with the German health care system have been injurious to my health.
