In the last post, I mentioned the sad story told by a daughter Peskov. As it didn’t want to go “fast” in Paris, as it was in the wallet only 15 euros, but then good friends are still able to take her to the hospital, where she agreed to accept, forced to wait as much as 8 hours. And very, very badly treated. Yes, and the bill put the terrible, not in Moscow.
Read now in “Komsomolskaya Pravda”?
“No money — no emergency.” Knowing that the purse from me for 15 euros , I sobbed, hung up the phone. In the end, friends brought me to the hospital. I took a blood test and painkillers. From 5 PM until 1 night I spent in the emergency Department, waiting for payment. But, when the prepayment was received by the hospital, I began to provide even those services that I didn’t need.
For example, a gastroscopy was done under totally unnecessary to me General anesthesia, which cost a lot of money. It should be mentioned that the case was not insured. Diagnosis of acute gastritis. The final touch in my story about the stay in a French hospital will become the hot rolls and the pasta which I fed every day, and which is contraindicated in gastritis. The amount left behind in the American hospital of Paris, astronomical. The last straw was the requirement of this hellish place, to pay doctors ‘ fees, plus all previous accounts!
But you want probably to know where the simple Russian student with 15 euros in my wallet found a shelter (though worthless), and mercy? What is this rude diner – American hospital in Paris? let’s find out. This will help us to an article from the Nouvel Observateur,” because even the French are interested in learning more about this mysterious institution. Which turned out to be “hell” for the simple Russian student. Especially a lot of surprises can be to readers of “Komsomolskaya Pravda”.
Knowing French can enjoy to the fullest, but for the rest I will translate some of the most interesting moments.

In an American hospital patient – the clock king. But only under one condition – if he has excellent insurance or a rich Bank account.

Generally, for each hospitalization requires a guarantee of 6,000 euros. Very often grows quickly, especially if you choose the suites on the 5th floor with a teakwood terrace with views of the Eiffel tower. These suites are very popular. One of the sons of Hariri, the Lebanese billionaire and former Prime Minister, who was hospitalized with a fracture, says that before him, the suites were awarded to two Muscovites, who came to do a rejuvenating plastic surgery. In August 2011 a dying Saudi Princess, close to the king, leased the entire 5th floor for himself, his throne, his doctors, his family and staff and went out among the armfuls of lilies.

Some patients just forget they are in the hospital. “They feel like a Spa,” says one nurse. – They put their shoes in the hallway for cleaning, call at night, so they brought champagne.” Jamel Debut (film and TV), two children who were born in this hospital: “I did not imagine that medicine can be such a luxury.”
In an American hospital, the doctors give you their cell phones, nights, weekends, if necessary. Sometimes they can remove the stitches, insert the probes, make the dressing…. Such features as time, and like Thierry to Ardissono (famous TV producer). “To an army of doctors tended to every inch of your skin. It’s magical, it’s malerovsky!”
Here in this infernal place, treatment which it is necessary to wait months, and had pleased the daughter of Putin’s press Secretary after a painful 8-hour wait. And really, where to go simple Russian girl with 15 euros? Of course, not have a hundred rubles, a hundred friends, but in a pasta ad with rolls made Lisa about her friends!
Thank God, Moscow is not so far from Paris, and there, and dad, and dad’s friends and bosses who are in trouble will not leave.
But seriously, this Lisa seems very simple-minded people. So expose yourself can, indeed, only Holy simplicity.
