I had to have some emergency dental treament yesterday, which my girlfreind managed to book very quickly and i was so grateful for the pain relief. Until i got the bill that is and suddenl i got these chest pains when after about 10 mins work she told me it was 90€. She then wrote me out a prescription for Anti- biotics and painkillers which i took to pharmacy , where i had my second heart atack after i was charged another 43€. I think if i had known that beforehand the toothache would have repaired itself, it was almost as painful as paying 10€ for a glass of wine.

You should have used kitchen door and a piece of string!!! Much cheaper

don't you have travel insurance?

Or more to the point, a European Health Insurance Card?

Yes i have and will be putting a claim in when i get back , it was just the initial shock of how expensive it was . I thought the UK was expensive for prescriptions , but not compared to this place .

Guess you'll just have to "bite the bullet" so to speak.
