11 September 2023 Lisbon: Yes Doctor Yes


We had to go to see an dermatologist but it was not to be so.  That specialty is booked through the end of the year.  So we booked a regular GP.  Since there was a problem with the last visit i asked the insurance to book the appointment and guarantee the payment.  It seemed like it would be easier this way.  GeoBlue booked the appointment but never mentioned which doctor it was that we had the appointment with.  So it was good that we got there early so we could first stop at the information desk, then at another desk where we were given an A number.  We had A-78.  We could watch a large screen like the one for flights at airports which told us where to go next.  after A-78 made it tot he top of the monitor we were able to go yet another desk where we found that Leslie's name was wrong which is why she did not show up in the computer.  We though that the name got fixed but instead they changed my name to that same incorrect spelling.  We were able to get through the Doctor's appointment with a minimum of language barriers but getting our blood pressure into line took a bit of trying.  

 It has been 1 year and 99 days since we began our migration
