Cause doctors get recruited from all over. But i would expect a doctor to at least be coherent in english if they were employed.

Yup, english should be the bare minimum. This doc didnt speak understandable english nor he understood finnish so 80% of the appointment went just trying to repeat something in hopes that other would understand some of it. This is the public health care here now. :+1:

Here they have to be able to speak to you in English. I honestly don’t care where a doctor is from originally but if he/she can’t communicate with me they aren’t providing any service.

They have huge wages also, even for health centers so it makes it even more irritating if theyre not able communicate with the patient so its not just wasted appointment.

Exactly I either dont even see whats the point then. ppl just get untreated and not understood. :dracthyr_a1:

That is really bad. I guess you’ll have to go private if it’s something that needs looking at soon.
But is it possible to complain about the health centre/doctor?

Can’t imagine there isn’t an instance to send a complaint to about it to or at least a way of asking for a doctor fluent in the native language given that not all, and especially not all from older generations, can’t speak and understand English to a sufficient level.

Cant bother even make complaint in finland, in best case they just give warning and no compensate for the waste of time or the further monetary loss and hassle I now have to go through. Its over and nothing to gain further even if make complaint. I go pay appointment for private doc. Radiologist from public care is already month late to write for MRI so another docs call is 2 week late from it cause they have forgotten to write something for pics they took. Public health care is of no use anymore here, were at the insurance model now that you need to use private care for everything and skip all from public.

jesus and i thought our healthcare was the worst. my former gf changed 5 doc cuz all of them retired and now there is no replacement.
but the doc that never understand any language is a news for me.

I was confused cause when you go to appointment they should have your medical history to easily go through aswell and youve already explained the reason for appointment when you call to make it, but it was like he had no clue why Im there and then Im trying to explain and he dont understand what Im saying and then he goes through some table of content how to order blood tests for patients on their software and the like. Just no use at all, Idk whats going on there but whatever I cant bother with it now I got enough already. :joy:

somethin will happen when he’ll treat bad someone. Normally in my country happens in this way…

Maybe he was fake doctor, I remember laugh reading from our news some years back about doctor who practised in public care for years here in finland without ever finished his studies, he was some medical student drop out who then somehow managed to get job in public health care and lift doctors salary for years. Now people use it as joke that somebody is a “fake doctor” if some careers practisioner has no clue what his doing. :smiley:

Brief googling shows news from 4 fake doctors/“valelääkäri” discovered from here by that time, all of them were sued, I guess they forged their studies documents. Scary to think its possible.

I dont have any pets but Im now a plant care taker, got this as present. Dont really know what to do but I read it only needs watering once a week and it manages well on its own. Its Yucca elephantipes aka Jukkapalmu somekind of palm if trust the finnish name. Jukka = common mens first name and palmu = palm. :smiley:

We call them yukkapalme in norwegian.

So also named as palm. Like a bonzai palm. Ive not got any plants before, this will be fun project to be its plant care taker. Its allergic free and doesnt have fur. :smiley:

Wow, jumping the deep end as a newbie?

Try this instead;

A blade of grass. :stuck_out_tongue:
