I’m so tired of the Norwegian healthcare system. To everyone who claims we have the best healthcare in the world, you need a reality check!
I almost gave birth at home because the ambulance refused to come get me - a 37-year-old first-time mother with a premature baby. They prioritized treating people with the flu instead.
Do you know what it’s like to endure expulsive contractions while going down two flights of stairs and sitting in a car? My baby was born within the hour.
Now, my baby is struggling to eat, is dehydrated, and needs urgent care. What does the emergency medical clinic do? Nothing. They do nothing, and when asked, they told us she’s not a priority while letting one hijab in after the other, which is exactly what happened the last time I was there.
My blood is boiling at this point.
On my way to a private clinic now, which will cost between 500-1000 dollars. We can’t even get insurance for this type of emergency care.
Welcome to Norway.
To this day, I still haven’t received an answer to the complaint made in the ambulance case. It’s about time they get to feel the heat. Please share.
