	Sometimes they do a lot of tests without reason...They kept my friends wife for 3 months in hospital and did all possible tests...Finally they said she is OK and doesn't have any disease. Crazy...

And then charged her 10'000CHF!

I was drunk rolling on the floor having fun and someone called the ambulance thinking I was dying. Now I have to pay CHF700 even though I was completely ok.

Excellent news. So glad all is well Makita- very happy for you, your little girl and family.
So what happened with the tests? What did they show?

	i well believe me i try, but here when you wanna a second opinion they look you weird, one day i was with one doktor in zurich, and she start to question me about why i dont have my children doctor in uster, why am there and bla bla... i guess i will go to another kanton...

Nothing wrong with asking, and nothing wrong with you answering truthfully and fully, that you needed to be re-assured you were doing all you could for your child.

Do any of the doctors you've seen have children? This might help as a selection criteria.

Consider also the Permanence in HB/Airport as they are prepared to conduct all tests they can on the spot. I've even had an on the spot ultrasound there after a drop-in.

Also the high life expectancy in this country has to be at least partly attributed to its health care system
