It was only yesterday I mentioned in one of my Blogs about the worrying general cut-backs happening in several European countries Including Spain. What caused most concern and disquiet are the closing or fewer hours of attention to sanitary and health matters, like the closing of pharmacies, primary health clinics and certain hospitals. It's announced today yet another health centre is closed in Catalunya, making it 56, so far, out of the 185 with 24 hour emergency services.
For more than 2 weeks and in several clinics affected, many local folks have been staging silent protests, camping round the medical centres, quiet, orderly, but firm in keeping their posts. The number of people following suit is increasing by the day, so are the number of centres thus 'occupied', some right inside with their mats and sleeping bags, absolutely refuse to go home. The centre in Viladecavalles has been closed for a month, and about 50 towns folks had installed themselves there, turning the ambulatory into a culture centre with make-shift beds.
So, if you 'must' have an accident or sudden pain or attacks on some parts of your body, first make sure it's not night time - nobody at all would see to you. You need to wait till 8am, the habitual opening hour. And, not at all on Saturdays and Sundays - no services of any kind in some of them, emergency or not! Meanwhile, try not to bleed to death. Best of all, try to have accidents or emergencies only on the specified days and hours.
