i must be lucky, having had quite a bit of experiance with the hesnaf hospital one way or another.
i have always found their services excelent.

I hope your husband is feeling better soon. I'm very shocked at the treatment he's being given as they were fantastic when I had my baby there in September. I couldn't fault them in any way and saw 2 doctors on the Sunday, 1 to check me and 1 to check the baby. It may be worth asking to speak to the head guy there, Dr Erdogan and he speaks very good English. The tourist desk would be able to sort that out for you - it's worth a try.

What a stressfull time for you both,hope your husband is better soon.

I know the wearing of adult nappies is strange to us, but I do believe it is standard practice all over Turkey. I was given one to wear after I had my youngest in the Esnaf, and my sister-in-law was also made to wear them when she had her baby in the Devlet hospital. Personally myself and my family have always received excellent treatment from Esnaf, but having read the comments on here, it does seem as if their service can be very hit and miss.

This must have been a very distressing time for you  with the major indignaties your hubby has had to endure, let alone the fact he is unwell.

Our family has much medical background, unfortunately as we all know in the UK it is far from perfect, much based on luck as to which hospital you go to and also what ward you are in!, the difference on how you are treated from one ward to another can be incredible.....some poor nurses are working their socks off and
others have all the time in the world to do nothing!...sad but true.

I really do think you should ask to speak to the head person at Esnaf and explain everything, if nothing is done it will be a shame but if they are not aware then you should make them.

Hope your hubby improves and you get him home for a bit of TLC.

Hello everyone. I managed to get my hubby home yesterday afternoon. He's still not 100% but with a lot of TLC he'll soon be on the mend.Hospital bill was massive, so please everyone make sure you get some health insurance.
Thanks to everyone for their kind wishes.

am still a bit puzzled at your treatment there, is it rude to ask what was wrong with him?

Did you query any of the bill? The food, for instance.

[scouser2swife]

I managed to speak to an English speaking receptionist and told her that we had not ordered any food, as he was nil by mouth for 36 hours and that I was bringing him food in.It was brushed aside as if I had not spoken.(the usual problem yok syndrome)
I asked for an itemised bill, but none was forthcoming.I honestly do not know what I have or have not paid for.I am just relieved that my hubby is home.
I will never use this hospital again.

I'm sorry to hear of your distressing experiences; they are worrying for all of us who rely on Turkey for our health care. However, there was a similar problem when I lived on Rhodes, where we had a saying: " If I fall ill, don't take me to the hospital, take me to the airport".
