I underestimated that they would demonstrate the key components and standards of what a doctor should demonstrate. Good luck to anyone! Keep in mind they will cover up any doctor's bad behavior. So make sure you have legal medical insurance with an insurance company before you go to a hospital here, something I was not aware of that you must have when encountering bad and unethical doctors here.

after the merger with the VUMC this has become a WORTHLESS hospital. All the prestige of a…read moreuniversity hospital has disappeared. A hospital where, due to the negligence of MDL doctors, IBD nurses and rheumatism doctors, you do not get better, but unfortunately sicker and sicker. They neglected my serious symptoms. I AM NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY AT ALL. My argument focuses in particular on the gastroenterology and rheumatology departments. (Eye clinic in AMC is good: because of the short lines of communication between doctor and patient, ophthalmologists take patients seriously). What makes the MDL departments so worthless: - the IBD nurses who sit in the doctors' chair. Making wrong assessments that can be dangerous for the patient. -the miserably long lines between doctor and patient. -the worthless digital mijndossier: communication doesn't work at all -If you have VERY serious complaints, you will simply be sent home with painkillers. I didn't feel taken seriously at all, even though there was a ticking time bomb in my body. -the doctors did not collaborate with other doctors, only looked at their own field in a very autistic way, and then sent it back to the GP. I also expect a medical specialist to look at the patient as a whole/holistically. If necessary, refer to the internist for more rigorous examination or consult with each other. Simply negligent! -Referring to an internist But they left it to the GP, even though it was urgent and even dangerous. Once a referral was received from the GP, the AMC rejected the referral in question because it believed it contained too little information. HELLO! This is not a formal error in a lawsuit, case dismissed due to an error. This is a HUMAN LIFE! -I haven't seen my own IBD/MDL doctor in 5 years. Staff shortage or something? It sure seems like it! -rheumatology outpatient clinic: too many patients and too few staff -incompetent doctors who cannot act and assess when a situation is serious. This certainly applies to the rheumatology outpatient clinic. It is better to go to a smaller hospital, if all goes well specialists also work there (get paid more) and have more time for their clients. AMC: rheumatology outpatient clinics and MDL: worthless third world country hospital!

They have forms in English, btw. I felt really appreciated, safe and grateful throughout the whole process. The process is very different from the one I went through in the US. First you must call the 0800 number to be screened. If all goes well you make an appointment so they can take blood samples and further interview you to ensure you're eligible to donate. If all that goes well you get a letter telling you you can donate within 2 weeks. I think it took about 1.5 months from my initial call till I got my letter. Totally worth it to help save lives :)

So never having a real say in who I wanted my GP to be I could not have been happier with the choice made by my agent. It has now been over 5 years and I have heard many of my friends complain about the healthcare in the Netherlands. Well ladies and gents, if you want: - to be listened too -don't want absurd waiting times for appointments - don't want to feel rushed during your appointment - action taken on your behave - feel like you are being taken seriously Then this is your place! I can't speak for all the GP's there but my GP Dr. Linnebank is a trooper. To give you all a clear example: I fell down the stairs at work and couldn't put down my foot anymore. The first aid consultants at work had urged me to go to the hospital or see my GP. So I called the Center the assistant was super understanding and soothing. She listened to my story and then told me to come over as soon as I could even though the Dr. was busy and my fall wasn't exactly live threatening she would make sure that he would see me quickly in between. When I got there (carried in by my cab driver ;) )She sat me down and called my GP who was in another appointment. After a short wait he finished his appointment and helped me straight away even though the waiting room was full. He assessed my foot and body to make sure I didn't have any other injuries. After which he concluded that he wanted me to go to the hospital, so he called the hospital himself to make sure they knew I was coming and could be helped quickly. About 4 weeks after all this I went back to see my GP as my foot wasn't getting any better. If any it was getting worse and I couldn't stand on it. Again I was helped quick. My GP concluded that he didn't agree with the specialists in the hospital and wanted me to go and see the specialist again. He picked up the phone himself and called the specialist directly in the hospital. The specialist argued that I just need to see a fysio but this answer wasn't good enough. My GP insisted that they have to reassess and a couple days later I have an appointment again. Now for Dutch standards this kind of personally help is rare and it is what sets this health-center apart from other GP offices. Only negative: the main entrance is not accessible by car, so in this case and not being able to walk was a bit of an issue.
