Hello Ivan, I`ll try to explane how we Danish pwp and other group of patient with = incurable diseases receive help from the public. 1. If you are so ill you can`t work anymore you can search for pension, = because we have a high velfair in Denmark and pay very high taxes, we = also receive a fair pension. 2. W e only have to pay 3oo kr (about 45 us dollar) each month the rest = are payed by the public. If you have a private insurance, they`ll pay = all for you. 3. We dosn`t pay for treatment by a physiotherapist, I`m going to = treatment each monday. 4. If you are alone and can`t caare yourself or clean your home,it = doens`t cost you anything at all. 5. Because I`m not so well walking, I have lent a wheelchair, my caves = and all what can be done to help you, from the publich. 6. I still drive my own car - but NOT much. Instead of I have an = arrangement with the publich where I order a cap to drive me e.g. to = visit my sons place, and it only cost me a bus-tickett (1 dollar). So in fact I`m feeling very lucky about all that help I receive. About Aarhus University Hospital, we can only hope we`ll bhave a = department where we can go and get help, instead of waiting maybe 3 = month for a visit by our neuro.=20 It`s almost possible to phone but it`s not the same. Our private = Neurologist can you always have an apointment, but I prefere my usual = neuro. Nice to hear about Tasmar Ivan, and maybe we see each other in = september.
