  • German here.

    If I’m sick I just go to their practice during consultation hours. Without an appointment I have to wait a little, but rarely more than an hour. Then I get called in, the doctor takes a couple minutes to listen to me describing my symptoms, possibly does some minor checking, then writes me a prescription for whatever treatment I will need or a transfer slip to a specialized doctor.

    For emergencies I can just go to the hospital. Oh, all of this costs me nothing at all, maybe a couple euros co pay for medications.




  • That depends on a lot of varying factors, such as your metabolism, genetics, diet, physical activity, your daily routine such as work and what kind, and so forth. You may also initially gain weight when trying to lose it because muscles are more dense/heavier than fat, and working out for example obviously encourages muscle growth as well.

    Overall you will probably start to notice some improvements within the first 3-4 weeks, although it helps a lot to do before/after pictures since the gradual changes are easily missed if you see yourself every day in the mirror.







  • Why does he not use those headphones? It is generally accepted practice to make an effort to be quiet when you need noises, not make an effort to endure someone else’s crap.

    So I’d say the responsibility is solely on his shoulders to stay fucking quiet. Why not blast all that noise to a headset? Also, depression doesn’t factor into this. If he keeps bringing that up as an excuse you need to address that.
