Medical tourism to Spain is hilarious to me as a Spaniard because getting an appointment with a specialist here is fucked up as shit. Waiting times to be seen by a specialist are often 6+ months, except for urgency procedures (and many times even then).

CW: fucked up medical shit and cancerThere has been a recent medical scandal where over 2000 women weren't given the results of their mammograms, many of them with cancer, due to gross underfunding with a sprinkle of negligence and misogyny. I wonder how many fucking people have to die before people realize that this kind of shit is not tolerable

Don't get me wrong, by all means come to Spain to get treatment if that's an option for you, the fault in our system is not medical tourism but intentional lack of funding. Private healthcare is skyrocketing here, as was the goal all along. I fucking hate it.
