Germany. When I am sick I call my doctor in the morning ask what time would be best to go there as to not wait too long. Then I go there, wait maybe an hour sometimes because he likes taking time for his patients, tell him my symptoms, get a sick note for work and possibly a prescription if I need medication.

I dont pay anything for the visit. If I need medication I will go to the pharmacy near my flat after the visit give them my health card, get my medication and depending on what drug I got pay a little bit, maybe 5€ , maybe a bit more.

Yeah but you need to go there once a quartal to give them your insurance card. So if you are sick less than that you still need to go every time.

Nope. I had Magen-Darm at home and there was no way I'd go anywhere outside. They accepted that TK service to send them my proof of insurance via Fax or Email.

You can do the same with my doctor but usually I have the energy to go by there quickly anyway. Dont need to see the doc to get the note. Just go to the reception
