Jims journey on Skilarence

[Caroline]

Thanks Jim!

The costs are pretty good    


Now just wondering if you mean clinic by hospital ....


I.e.

What you call chemist we say pharmacy or drug store 

Our GPs, dermatologist, etc work from clinics.  Hospitals are for operations, emergencies, specific tests such as MRI, certain treatments, etc

Yeah, but I know more of them..... Hihihi

What you call clinic or hospital we call ziekenhuis or hospitaal
What you call chemist or pharmacy we call apotheek
What you call drug store, we call a coffee shop, which does not sell coffee but weed. Or we can compare this to a “drogist”, where they sell the simple free medications and also soaps, shampoos and so on.

For us everything is concentrated in the Hospitaal, except for the GP’s, they often work in local health centres (gezondheidscentra)
Lately there are popping up some kinda clinics who specialise in a certain direction, e.g. an eye-clinic, or right on the opposite side claim to work more in teamwork with a variety in specializations in order to address complexer problems. My latest experience in this direction tells me that it is largely a commercial teaser.
