Hope all ok.
oh went up and some doc told me to give dd calpol and send her to bed it was my last resort she has astma and the cough is really bad think ill be bring her a and e
great service alright…
is there a touch of sarcasm there 😆No sarcasm! Sorry i didnt read back so didnt pick up on it 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
i found it great, but one complaint i had was charged 90e for 2 kids, but your one at the desk only put 60e on my lazer, I hadnt gotten in the door and the phone was hopping, i was getting the sick boys settled and had TEN RUDE MESSAGES from the Indian Doctor who seen us!!!!
I didnt ring back as it was their mistake, i did get a bill in the post for the 30e which i paid over the phone… ended up with 2 Receipts one for 90 and one for 60e, happy days!Good luck going to A & E was up there myself last night, mayhem the wait was 9 – 10 hours. Elderly people who had been sitting there since 4pm were leaving at 9 having been told they could be waiting another 5 or more hours. Having said that though, those who came in with children were seen straight away so hopefully you will be okay 😕
I usually go to the doctor on call in Navan – find them very good. The only times I have ever go though are when the kids have vomited up the calpol and I cannot get their temperature down – I have since discovered paralink.(last resort – hate it with a vengance – feel like some sort of sicko – but it does the job). Or with my head split open – managed to do it in a nice straight line – so they could glue it instead of stitching(happy days)

hope your dd is ok , my kids have been sick since early februaury , its a total joke spent €100 euro yesterday between doc and meds 😈 this is dd’s 4th antibiotic and ds 3rd onev in a few weeks ….i am broke and cant afford it , its a total jokeyep got it sorted we are lucky to have a medical cards so it does be handy i could not afford as that many trips to the doctor and a and e a the last few weeks without it i am lucky anough i could scrape the cash together for the taxi last night 😳 .
I really hope this government follows through with a health system reform, its long overdue.
i have nothing against anyone with a medical card but why should i have to pay for the doctor while the person beside me doesnt … also the medicines in the chemist , the last 2 months i have gone over the €120 dps…. it makes my blood boil, it should be the same system for everyone … i can not afford to bring my kids to the doctor but i have to as dd gets convulsions with a high temperaturei think all health services should be free for children under 18. its a disgrace my friends dd was in and out of hostipal last year with constent headaches and blackouts the bills all put together were 24,000 euro between scans and tests she couldnt believe how much it came to in the end but the child is grand now not a bother on her.
with regard to medical cards and qualifying for one sometimes you can get a medical card for one person in the family only if they have more medical conditions/needs than the rest of the family. I did this when my daughter had many medical procedure/treatments/medications and with her condition we couldnt take chances and had to go to GP immediately if any worries. We were initially refused a card as over the limit but I added up her expenses alone and they were very high so she was granted a card in her own name. It was a full medical card. Had to put up a bit of a fight though as initally it was a NO.
Just if anyone has someone in their family with a condition that does cost a lot in medical care.
