They have some American doctors and nurses, as well as a local pediatrician, and everything there goes by more familiar procedures for us. They refer us to local clinics for things they can't do in-house, such as ultrasounds. I knew I probably could argue a little more, but I was so frustrated that I knew I'd go over the top with it ... so I decided to let the health unit people handle it--some of them can argue in Arabic, when necessary, which my language skills just aren't up to. Luckily, there are other options for ultrasounds--we've had one at a local hospital, where everything went very smoothly, and we're going back to the hospital for the next one. No more dealing with that particular clinic.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249491905813918066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610405167146745617.post-38446379027599045672010-01-04T18:04:04.830+02:002010-01-04T18:04:04.830+02:00Wow - that totally sucks!
