This meme brought to you by developed nations gang permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago Lol jokes on you, I can only hope to find an appointment at a german clinic that will just write me the fucking prescription that's only 5 hours away. Because every other option in hundreds of kilometers does not work, the local clinics can't prescribe it because they wouldn't get paid for it, my home doc can't because her budget doesn't allow it and the emeegency hotline 1. has no clue which doc does ADHD, 2. hardly has any appointments either because everyone is desperate and 3. can't give proper appointments, just short emergency onces that amount to nothing. Of course if I was rich I'd have my meds tomorrow morning. Welcome to Germany, where we (by now) merely cosplay a working healthcare system unless you have the money and total lack of medical preconditions to buy yourself into the 1st class citizen's system (private healthcare). permalink fedilink source parent [–] KelvarCherry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago ADHD medication abroad is something I've researched a bit, and my understanding is the USA is actually not the worse by any means. Many countries, including Japan, completely ban stimulants. While the financial burden should be easier with nations with single-payer healthcare, like Canada, there's still often the drug regulation stigmas that the USA has. AFAIK it's only the under-developed nations that have easy access to Adderall. I found a rated world map on r/ADHD, but it just broadly rates "legality" and doesn't seem that informative because the USA and Canada is in the friendliest category. Please correct me if you have other info. permalink fedilink source parent
