Non-Americans, what's it like when you're sick and need to go to the doctor? by Knossos in c/[email protected]

We do also get money taken directly out of our pay check for health insurance. So it isn't just the 5 euro fee. But I think it manages to be considerably less, since everyone is required to have insurance. I think that brings down the cost for everyone.

Also Germany: I live rural. Most times I've gone I see the doctor itv takes than 30 minutes, but it depends on who else is there obviously. First come first served.

Interesting that they ask you to call in advance. I've never had that. We can, if we want an after midday appointment for something specific.

Yes, the awkward "Moin". Definitely!

There used to be a 15 euro per quarter charge when using the local doctor. They scrapped that a few years ago.

All the blood work I've had has been free. But I'm not sure what you meant by extensive. I take a lot of anti biotics, so they check my liver numbers occasionally.

But yeah, generally a similar experience to you.

"Yes, I know."

Why is Germany so prevalent on Lemmy? by Knossos in c/[email protected]

Germany is also 2nd for self hosters, after US. According to a self hosting survey.

If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it? by Knossos in c/[email protected]

Wing commander, Freespace.

Games of this genre are completely dead. I'd love another decent mission based space flight game.

So THIS is the correct way! (lemmy.world)

Open source Git repo owners with open licenses, how do you know your code is being used by a big corpo? by Knossos in c/[email protected]

You don't.

Unless it is publicised or an obvious bug exists in your code and you see the consequences of it in their system.

Germany may introduce conscription for all 18-year-olds by Knossos in c/[email protected]

It isn't just about the military. I've not read the article, but Germany suffers from not having enough people working in social services. This problem got worse after getting rid of conscription. You could either choose military service or social work.

By reintroducing it, they hope to fill in some gaps.
