Should wait or go private?
Sorry about the rubbish title, but I'm after a bit of advice. I'm in Spain and I know things work differently here. But what would you do?
I went to the dermatologist at hospital yesterday to have them look at a mole I'm slightly worried about. It itches, has irregular shape and colors and lately the colour is spreading into the sorrounding skin so it now has sort of a redish ring around it. The doctor agreed that it needs further attention and asked me to book another appointment.
They're seeing me again end of NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, should I go private and just pay out whatever it'll cost me, or is it likely that things move so slowly that 7 months are not that big a deal? I nearly shouted at the receptionist.
