Thanks Emkay, yes this guy really is a registered doctor. I'm coming down from my outrage high and will decide what to when/if a bill arrives. I don't think either of us have the energy for a prolonged fight over this, so we might just pay it and move on, but if we do decide to go further then one o...

Yeah the guy was a medical doctor. I've no idea how they get away with this shit, but it looks like most of the alt-med stuff is protected and big chunks of it like homeopathy and chiropractic are even covered by various Kasse.
Oh well back to looking for a reputable doctor I guess.

Thanks, once the bill arrives, that will be interesting.

This one needs a bit of background first. Background So my son is trans, autistic and suffers from chronic pain. He has also over the past few years been hospitalised twice, once for an eating disorder and once for suicidal ideation. In his attempts to deal with all of this he has largely been on hi...

It belongs on the optical illusion thread. It probably says something awful about me that I struggled to see the two dancers at first.

Great big hugs from me too. Glad the article helped a bit, it's not much, but every crumb helps at times like these.

The old forum had experts for that, the new forum not yet, I am afraid. One of those experts would often recommend a German language site called info4alien . The site is entirely conducted in German, but I've found that with modern online translation software and a bit of patience that can be "...

Be brave, stay strong. This is going to be hard. If you do find yourself at a bedside making that so-hard end of life decision, then something I read recently struck a chord with me and you might find helpful. It is a privilege to be present when someone dies. If only I’d seen it that way, it would ...

The bank is subject to anti money-laundering rules and have to satisfy themselves that the transfer is legitimate.
Just go and take what they want to see, it's just easier.

Hi Emkay, First let me say how sorry I am that you are having to go through this. Then on to the practical stuff, which sadly is going to have to consider the possibility that your mum won't recover at all. Regarding access to the house:- If you have keys you have control, change the locks to make s...

This thread has been quiet for a while.

Brewers yeast = Bierehefe you can usually buy it in health-food shops and pharmacies. You can also buy online from Amazon (you decide if that's a good option) or from dedicated home-brewing sites like this one https://www.braupartner.de/en/artikel/866 (Not a recommendation, just the first one I foun...

Regarding the avoidance of Gift/inheritance tax, surely if your parents loan you the money, then it isn't a gift or an inheritance and so isn't subject to tax. You can repay the loan when they have an account to receive it. I'm neither a lawyer nor a tax advisor so I can't be sure that this will wor...

Hmm. Do I know anyone who will bring a package across international borders for a total stranger on the internet? No, and if I did I would be really sure never to travel with them. There are lots and lots of things that you can buy in the US easily but which you can't bring into Germany, and vice-ve...

The problem here is that you haven't been falsely accused, by your own admission you didn't actually report this accident, you "talked together and checked the mirror and the guy told with a smile and a thumbs up that nothing happened" This seems like a reasonable thing to do and I persona...

I’m a retired doctor and it’s true - the German Dr.med. is a purely academic title and not relevant to the practitioner’s qualification to treat you. The title used to be very important in Germany, but it no longer is a thing. In one direction that is true, no-one cares really if you have a Doctora...

Now I wanna make one of these but with one extra segment, "Fix job selector wheel" and put it somewhere near the top.

A Hausartz is someone with a license to practice medicine and open a pratice, a "Doctor" is someone with a Doctorate.

They are separate qualifications.

A Hausartz with a doctorate in medicine can call themselves Doctor.

Nah it only needs a small amount of acetone, and you can keep it in a jam-jar and re-use it for hundreds of cards before it gets 'full'.
Then just take it to the recycling center and get rid of it as a jar of paint-thinner.
