I have very easy and free access to hospitals and medicines, due to the country I live in. Witch makes it a lot easier for me, to visit the doctor whenever I need to. And that’s a big problem in many country’s, because it cost a lot of money to visit the doctor or go to the hospital. And that’s one of the reasons i think there is a tendency of higher death rates. Because many can’t afford it.

My personal experience has been okay! Sometimes that can change due to my different situations that involve having to communicate with the healthcare system/staff. The healthcare system tries their hardest but some don’t. Some doctors just guess your diagnosis just to get you out of the hospital, mainly to get paid. Some do wrong diagnosis due to them being tired or careless, with good research it can be proven. My negative experience was terrible. Technically, it wasn’t “MY” experience it was a family members but I was there as a witness. My aunt went in because she was sick and she had pain near her appendix. The doctor said nothing was wrong with her appendix and that she may just have a bug. Scans, test, everything was done turned out the doctor sent my aunt home with “flu” meds. Took my aunt throwing up all of her body weight to go back to another hospital because we all knew something was wrong. She went to another hospital and turns out her appendix burst and she nearly could’ve died. Therefore, the healthcare system is great and all but some doctors or healthcare workers can be very careless.
