Glad to see you're okay BillB.
I had similar in Faro Hospital, when I broke my ankle.Also when I had a blip with too much ventolin
I had a huge op, also in Faro, surgeons brilliant, nurses the same. After care was a little lacking, but we had a brilliant nurse in the centro de saude in Fuzeta.

Also, had problem with something on the eye lid - all in the same year...... the eye surgeon gave me his mobile phone number, in case of problems.
But that was about 9 years ago, so maybe things have changed.

I think I just need to take it easy for a week to be sure of a full recovery. The scan was CT scan not an MRI scan as I said previously and I got an all clear from the doctor.

I had 35 weeks Radiotherapy in Faro following breast cancer op in Portimao. Hubby also had Radiotherapy in Faro following cancer op in Lisbon. I then had total hip replacement in Portimao following fall. All SNS and no complaints whatsoever.

Make sure you do, I had a blow to the head once and had concussion, it took me a couple of weeks to feel right again.

Just had emergency treatment at Faro hospital (SNS) and could not fault it. Fell over yesterday (Sunday) after tripping, landed on the back of my head (don't ask me how I did that as I should have landed on my front), out cold for a few minutes and obviously concussed. Ambulance arrived pretty quickly (we live out in the sticks) and I was whisked off to the hospital. Excellent treatment including MRI scan of brain (nothing found) and blood tests. Everyone spoke English as I was confused and still a bit shocked. Portuguese does not come naturally to me; I once had a dream in Portuguese but it didn't last very long.. After a thorough examination, someone phoned my wife to come and pick me up; they have your phone numbers on the SNS computer system . Everyone we have spoken to about emergency treatment at Faro hospital says they could not fault the treatment and that includes serious, sudden illnesses.
keep well
