subject: Hospitals In Seville, Spain: Play It Smart When You Choose A Hospital [print this page] Yes you are ready to swing it in SevilleYes you are ready to swing it in Seville. But when you need a doctor, do you have an idea how to choose your doctor and hospital?
Forewarned is Forearmed
Anything can happen during a holiday in Seville. You might catch a virus or get a nasty cold. As a tourist in Spain, it is tricky to get into the right hospital. You might end up waiting for hours for someone to attend to you.
To get medical attention faster than you can flamenco, rush to a private hospital. The doctors here can speak English. This is important because you have to know what the doctor is saying or you won't be able to follow the doctor's orders to the letter. You might get a professional translator but who thinks of a translator when one can barely stand or walk? You need a doctor fast, not a translator.
To beat the communication gap, choose the nearest private hospital. Your ailment may not require a hospital confinement but if it does, you must be ready with your health insurance or a credit card. But it pays to pay cash to avoid the tedious processing of your payment.
Private hospitals allow you to choose your doctor which is not done in public hospitals. These hospitals, specifically those run by religious orders allow you a companion in the hospital. In a strange place, especially in a hospital, you would love to have someone with you. This practice is not done in most western hospitals, so be glad you have chosen Seville for your treatment.
It is a different story altogether if you are in Seville for treatment. But the same caution should be exercised ahead of time. Check the doctors' credentials. If you are seeking treatment for colon problems or you need an excellent surgeon, get the information from the appropriate source NOT from what people are saying but what the medical association is saying about the doctors.
Accommodation
Your treatment may not require you to stay in the hospital so you need a place that's near the hospital. As an out-patient, regular visits to doctor can be an inconvenience if you have to take a bus ride to the city.
An apartment in the city makes your life easier. A little but nice apartment is just what you need for the duration of your treatment. Apartments for rent are fully-furnished to make life bearable for you and your companion. Book your holiday apartment online and get the best deal from booking ahead of schedule.
