The downside of not the NHS

Turns out it's not always a good thing to visit a health service with more money than it needs.

It seems that if you go to the doctor in Switzerland and suggest that you think you have some nasty strain of flu, they will indeed diagnose "some nasty strain of flu (sic)" and send you home with NO MEDICINAL REMEDY, but not before they've admitted you to hospital, given you two saline drips because when asked how much water you'd drunk that day, you flippantly replied "probably not enough", run a full set of bloods, taken chest x-rays, and run a EKG.There was talk of a CT scan because I mentioned that my symptoms included a headache.

That sound a bit drastic - are they worried you're going to sue if they mis-diagnose you, or was it a bit of a slow day for them?

I get the feeling that every day is a bit of a slow day for them.
