WHAT A DUMP. After being refused treatment at one hospital because they had no doctors my wife and I was sent to Mereni Gusztav Korhaz. On arrival the gate man showed me where to park and pointed me to a waiting area. I do not speak very much Hungarian but found the reception by following a ambulance crew. One of the crew spoke a little English. The place was packed with people on trollys or sitting on chairs. It was dirty and the smell was not very good. I needed treatment for my wife as she was in so much pain. She had damaged her foot on a drain and it was now swallen. I tried to talk to the receptionest but she could not understans English. I was pushed away from the reception window so that she could talk to the next person in line. After waiting for 15 minutes while the receptionest spoke to other people she called a nurse over. The nurse spoke some English and I explained the problem. The nurse then explained it to the receptionest. The receptionest was interested in only one this INSURANCE. She repeated the word 4 time before the nurse had chance to ask me if we had a insurance card. My wife and I both have European Insurance Cards. I told the nurse we both have insurance cards and passports. I gave the receptionist my wifes card and her passport. She did not look very pleased. She put both of them on a desk then turned to the next person in line. The nusre found a wheelchair for me and I collected my wife from the car. For the next 2 and a half hours we waited it a dirty smelly corridor while other people came and went. A trip to the toilet was a disaster, There was water everwhere, no toilet roll, no where to wash your hands and the smell was worse. Eventually after nearly everyone else had been seen the nurse called us in to the treatment room. The room had about 10 beds, it was just as dirty and smelly, with 5 or 6 nurses and doctors treating patients. The other bed where all empty. The nurse checked my wife foot and asked about the pain. She then said that it would need a exray and to wait in the corridor again. The exray took another hour. The nurse finally called us back in to the treatment room. The nurse had found a doctor that could speak Romanian which was a great help to my wife. He explained to my wife that the foot was not fractured and it would be fine in a few days. The nurse then came back with the exray and said it was fractured. The two of them talked for a few minutes before the nurse explained the there was a fracture. She said they could not put it in plaster but would give her a bandage. They would not do anything about the pain and said we needed to go straight to our own hospital when we got back to England. The nurse wrote a letter for my wife to give to our own hospital. After 4 hours of waiting around we left the hospital with my wife still in pain. We brought pain killers from the next garage and continued our drive back to England. Never go to hospital in Budapest they are dirty and the staff are not very helpful. Get a European Medical Insurance Card. Free on the internet. The gate man and one nurse were the only people that helped that day. I will never return to this city again.

Ok

I read the rather negative experiences. Obviously the bad will be published sooner by sick, injured people, however, fortunately we experienced a much better situation yesterday. After a quick, almost unexpected check-in, the examinations - skull ct, upper body x-rays - were completed within 1 hour. Overall, approx. We were done in 1.5 hours while the other patients in the corridor were receiving continuous care. (No protection, acquaintance!) The only thing that's quite problematic. I won’t go into detail, but you can’t use the toilet in the women’s bathroom, you can’t pull it off.

They cannot provide basic medical care. Scandal! We waited 3 hours for an X-ray ... the people there watched the film aloud, while my brother waited patiently in pain for the result (slipped up the stairs and broke his ankle)! One of the "doctors" / colleagues spoke to us out loud so as not to be impatient, we thank Orban for the situation. I ask: why do such "people" work in healthcare? Why did you agree to heal patients? The end result: bruising, let's rest ... of course we didn't see the X-ray, but that's how much they knew about the examination. Athlete, he had several uglier bruises on several occasions, but that was nowhere near: they didn't want to provide him with noble simplicity, they took his case lightly! Last but not least, at 2 o'clock in the morning, even a covid lady was pushed into the emergency room (!!!), suddenly the workers there disappeared ... of course the patient should be in the waiting room in an airspace with a covid infection. SCANDAL.
