the devlet hospital in alanya is really good now...and im puzzled about the above article..
ive taken quite a few people up to the hospital for blood and eye tests etc..and they had first class very cheap service...with a Dr's consultation in the price..about 40lira for a lady who needed checking out before having various routine tests that she normally got in the uk...she had previously paid about 120 lira for the same thing in the Can hastane
recently a taxi driver friend of yusufs got knifed late one night..his abdomen was ripped and he had slashes on his throat..he was lucky a passing street dog made such a racket that the two guys ran off and someone investigated the noise ..to cut a long story short he was taken up to the Devlet hospital had a couple of units of blood İV antibiotics and his tummy repaired..we visited him in the ward..and during visiting time it was a free for all..people poured in...however when time was called a fierce looking nurse and her ''bouncer'' appeared and everybody vanished....our friend was up and about and discharged within 5 days..and had no after affects. the surgery was superb
once after a night out a car wheel ran over my foot..dont ask how..lucky the tarma was soft...we went up to the Devlet where i had an xray..and of course entertained the staff..hic hic..while waiting for the results..a good night out..bit black and blue the next day..but once again from what i can remember the service was jolly.
