At the departure from Moscow we have
arrange a medical insurance in our travel firm. This have cost for us 1 dollar on the
person at a day, 3*50 =150 dollars (two adult and small child for 50 days). Beside all of
us appeared some small problems at first days, connected with the sun and by sea - some
rash, heels and etc. Through two weeks, already we being in Paleokastritsa, we were
compel to apply to the local nursing home: beside the child have reddened an eye. First we
thought that some small capillary have crashed in his eye, but afterwards they have
reddened the capillaries in other, and it becomes clear for us, that this not mechanics,
but some infection or allergy. Public facility - a washing of eyes by cool tea - did not
help him , and in the next morning we have went in the first-aid station. All as we have
in Russia in small south boroughs. Specialists are in the center, baby physicians too.
Center is Kerkira, Corfu-town. Each day in the morning it arrives a physician, he take all
- lame, sleazy, etc. (for instance, they came a whole family of Germans, limping on one
and same leg, afterwards we began to greet their not only in the polyclinic , as well as
on the street and on the beach). Trained nurse lives in same house in second its
part.
We are render first Russians, turn in this first-aid station. First
Trained nurse has decided that they will get the payment of the bill from our
insurance company, but afterwards, see, he has advised with the physician, the following
day they have took cash from us 25000 drachmas - approximately 85 dollars. Else 2700
drachmas (9 dollars) it have cost to us the trip on the taxi and back in Liapades in 5
kilometers, where beside them drugstore, and else 5 dollars medicines themselves. They
have said to us, that all, the facilities of physician, taxi (with he has take bill - a
count) and medicine will pay indemnifying company on returning home. Look.
A Policy of "Russian indemnifying company" looks much on the
type decently, is written on two languages, Russian and English, has a reference to the
main apartment in Paris, be a telephone of round-the-clock help with Russian-language
physician in Paris, on which one possible call without payment. As this do, it stays
unclear, as far as for it was the single possibility to call for us - to buy a telephone
card and ring from the street automaton.
A Russian variant of the text of policy does not comply with English
one. And is in general receive impression, that all this is written from some old
instructions for rest homes of some atomic industry - why-that insurance is not subject to
venereal diseases, on the AIDS DISEASE (Why?), on allergic diseases (Why?). Written that
for getting an insurance is necessary represent an act on coming an insurance event, but
what is an act - is not written. All there bad pupils, in USSR.
However on returning home sufficiently quickly we have get nearly all that have consume -
that is to say on counts of physician and drugstore. For the taxi did not pay, in spite of
that was a count from taxi driver.
The Days for 10 before the departure our boy once again has become ill. it has raised
before 38 degrees and several days it has hold a temperature, has appeared a bright red
rash (first on his face, but afterwards on the whole body. We as well as did not hear that
this was. As judged by books, which already here have read, this was a rubella. This
wholly possible, because it was often swimmed at last days in pools with whom has get.
First this seemed a chill, and we do not go to the physician, but in two days in
general we have moved in Liapades, where it isn't some physician simply. The trip to
the physician in Paleo we postponed from a day to another, while boy becomes health
itself.
