Good Afternoon Friends!
Happy Tuesday. Hope you are having a splendid day. This week has been a hot one here in the Silver Coast. Thank goodness for the nice cool breeze to offset this hot sun that we have here.
This past week has been crazy busy. All the summer festivities began and now we can experience the real Portugal! I was also able to meet quite a few of my viewers as they started their scouting trips. It’s so refreshing to see their reactions to life here in Portugal 🇵🇹
Now onto this video. Moving to a new country is already scary and has many challenges. Dealing with residency paperwork to figuring out how to help your children with their Portuguese homework, it seems like it never gets easy. So when a doctor highly recommends for your 3 year old daughter to undergo surgery in a new country; scared would be an understatement. Do I pick up my child and fly her back to the States where I am familiar with the hospitals or do I trust that I made the right decision and have faith with Portuguese hospitals? I chose the latter. Portugal is now my home so I must have faith.
This video, I’ll be going over from start to finish why my daughter had to undergo surgery and how the whole process went with CUF hospital in Torres Vedras.
See you in the next video 📹

Hi Josie! Thanks for the video. I'm glad that things worked out for your you and that your daughter is doing well now. It was great to see the photos of CUF. I know they are building another location in Leiria, but I haven't seen info on the one planned for Caldas. I have been reading about the issues with emergency rooms at public hospitals being closed/overwhelmed because of lack of doctors especially in obstetrics. I saw that that ended tragically last week at Caldas's hospital. It's one of the reasons I am reconsidering that area, because we need a good maternity hospital close by. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Josie, did you get reimbursed anything from the 3500? Just trying to budget. Thank YOU.
Glad everything went well. Wow! The insurance paid for 100%? Amazing!!!
Good stuff
So you had to pay $3,500 upfront, then submit the bill to your insurance, which then reimbursed you? What happens when someone doesn't have the $3,500 up front?
aww glad your daughter is doing well. interesting video seeing the medical office etc. I had that same procedure in 1971 and similar age. Never had another ear infection after that
I'm glad everything went well! And thanks for sharing information about the private health care system. Really great to know!
Thank you, Josie. This was very helpful. Health care is so important and is one of my primary considerations in considering Portugal. So glad your daughter is feeling better. What an amazing doctor.

Awww, little sweetie! My younger brother had this as well, when he was a similar age. Luckily, the monitor your child’s growth and need for new tubes, or to remove them better, now. My brother outgrew his quickly, and it caused damage. He says it wouldn’t happen now. He had his surgery in the 70’s.
Sounds like it was a great experience! Thanks for sharing!
