Reception staff refused to check reciprocal healthcare agreement
During a recent visit to the UK while staying with family, my husband sustained an injury to his ankle resulting in significant bruising and swelling. We attended the local surgery seeking an assessment and potential medical advice, given my husband's medical history of previous serious infections.
