We went to live in France in 2005. Some time later I was having a problem with my left eye.
I went to the Doctor who sent me to an eye specialist.
After the inspection he said I must have an Operation on the eye. Retina problem.
It was arranged for me to go to Bordeaux, over 2 hours drive.
It was then arranged that I should go into the Hosp in a couple of weeks for the Op.
I drove to Bordeaux and back home
When we eventually got the Op date MrsDP and I went by Taxi.
I was taken to a room. MrsDP said she would go to a hotel.
The Hospital receptionist said that MrsDP could stay in my room which had 2 beds.
Had the op next day, another night in the Hosp.
Taxi came from our village to pick us up.
We didn't pay a Cent.
Can't beat the French system.
