Also, I've been sick with what I suspect is mono for months. My fever finally went away two weeks ago, and back on my feet. It *sucked*.
I will say that Greek healthcare was excellent throughout, although I am surprised they never ran a confirmation test to confirm mono. Still, way better than I ever experienced in the US, and proof that universal health care is a human right.
After all, if everyone has the same services, enlightened self-interest is going to keep the richer parts of society funding the healthcare system.
