Once again,I do not believe I spoke…
Once again,I do not believe I spoke with a doctor during the call. I woke up with a muscle contracture, which caused pain only in certain positions—for example, sitting or standing was fine, but bending to the left, where the contracture is, caused discomfort.
During the consultation, I was put on hold and ultimately advised to go to the hospital, which would have required more than an hour of driving for something that does not warrant an emergency room visit.
I then contacted a private doctor, who confirmed that this issue does not require hospital attention at this stage and prescribed Relmus, which has already significantly improved my condition.
I want to emphasize that I communicated clearly in the same language with both representatives. I understand that hospitals in Portugal are overwhelmed, and that in some cases patients with minor muscle issues are referred to the emergency room. However, I believe this advice was excessive and unnecessary. I would appreciate that future consultations provide more accurate guidance and, if needed, proper telemedicine evaluation before suggesting hospital visits.
