(Last Update: 29.01.2025) In my previous post aid team coming to the house in case of health emergency I tried to give information about it. This time it is a continuation of that article, When you need emergency care from a hospital in Paris I want to share with you what I know to give you an idea about what kind of events you may encounter.
After a sudden illness in June 2014 firefighters (to the pump) – When I was taken to the hospital by ambulance by the fire brigade, they took me to the emergency department of the public hospital in Neuilly. Emergency Room that means Emergency (organization or öğjans) Of course, it is an unpleasant and unpleasant place, like everywhere else in the world. However, I would like to say that my experience was the “lesser evil”. Moreover, since it is the first time I have experienced something like this in my life, it is not possible for me to compare the conditions in Turkey with the conditions here. When I was in Istanbul, I would go to the hospital once a month and then For the sake of private health insurance in private hospitals hand doll rose doll We would be treated as is. That's why I was lucky enough to experience the real emergency room in Paris...
After Pompiers completed my registration and delivered me to the emergency room, the fire brigade's duty was over and I started waiting in line to be let in. I think they let me in directly in very urgent cases, but since it turned out that I wasn't having a heart attack, I had to wait in line like the other patients in the emergency room. My pain was unbearable, but after all, everyone there had a problem and doctors were taking patients to the service according to their priority and capacity. Luckily, I didn't wait long and was let in. Over the years, I have heard hospital stories from many of my friends, Some people wait in line for 5-6 hours at the emergency room....
When you enter the emergency room door -normally- They do not allow your companion to enter with you. This is the first day into the trap I fell, but when I had to go to the emergency room again the next day, this time Fransızca I excused myself that I didn't know and made my companion come in as well :)
as a matter of fact Things are going smoothly inside and you never need a companion. The only problem is slowness. First, my heart electrocardiogram was taken, my blood pressure was measured, my complaints were listened to, and then I was taken to a room. I just waited there for a long time. No one came or went :) Maybe an hour later, the door opened and a doctor came and listened to my complaints again and looked at my reports. He said that a blood test would be done and left the room. After waiting for about half an hour, a nurse entered the room and took my blood and told me that the test would come out in an hour and a half! I waited desperately and I was really overwhelmed. The pain was unbearable and being alone made me feel overwhelmed. After receiving the test results, I was told that there was nothing visible, that I could go home, and that if the pain continued, I should come back in three days. If the pain got worse, I was told to come back immediately. Oh before I forget, almost the one who takes care of me Every doctor asked me how severe my pain was on a scale of 1 to 10. I think they ask this to understand who among the patients should be treated first, and they can even negotiate on this issue :) At one point, I even noticed that they wrote "six" on the report, even though I said my pain intensity was "eight" :)
In the end, my pain was not gone, life was a complete misery, but since it was determined that the cause was not an urgent health problem, I had to return home. No matter what, it was nice to be back home, but the pain was severe and they still couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. The next day, when the pain got worse, we went directly to the emergency room of the same hospital ourselves, this time without calling an ambulance. As I said, this time I pretended that I didn't know French and had my companion come in with me 😉 Again, I had to wait a long time for heart electrocardiography, blood pressure, a more detailed blood test, x-ray, etc. I was waiting, then someone would come and do a procedure and leave, an hour later someone else would pick me up and take me somewhere for another procedure and then bring me back, then I waited again... Well past midnight, all my tests came back clean, but it would be better for me to see a stomach specialist at the first opportunity. It was said that it was. Desperate, we headed home again.
I did not pay a penny during this entire process... Everyone living in France has a card equivalent to our SSI card. Vital card (card vital or paper vital) the government subsidizes a large portion of health expenditures. And on top of that, you mutual If you have private health insurance, the part that is not covered by the state is - mostly - covered through this additional insurance. A few days later, when we went to the hospital to get all the test results and x-rays, I was very happy when we were told that we had to pay a total of 50 euros, because at the end of all these procedures, this was the only amount I had to pay, thank God... But this Carte Vitale is something that takes such a long time to come out. I think I had to wait six months; From what I heard, getting your card one year after applying is also normal :)
After the emergency medical intervention and the emergency room experience, of course, since my Turkish vein was activated, the next day I was in a hurry to find a good doctor to do research on the stomach. Paris American HospitalWe made an appointment with a doctor in .
If you live in France, you will most likely have a Carte Vitale, so the financial part of your transactions will not be very challenging. Or at least if you live in another country of the European Union, I think you will go through similar procedures in accordance with common agreements.
If you are in Paris as a tourist and need to go to the emergency department of a hospital as a result of an unpleasant incident, I would like to say that you will encounter such a sequence in terms of the flow of events. I don't know exactly the economic part of the matter. Definitely a "overseas health insurance” I would like to think that you have it done. This way you're really covered. In such a case, instead of going to any public hospital, American HospitalIt would be more useful to go to .
I hope you never need something like this, but the world has all kinds of situations, we don't know where or when something like this will happen to anyone, so let's leave this article aside. You can also list the most affordable prices in many parts of the world by typing the treatment you are looking for and reading comments about clinics and doctors. letsmedi.comMake a note of it somewhere. Maybe one day it will be necessary.
