Medicine here is all about “do no harm,” so if there is an opportunity to not intervene, doctors won’t. No doctor in Switzerland will prescribe useless procedures or medications. The locals don’t have regular medical tests — they’re expensive. If you get ill, you can see a doctor about your condition.

A girl living in Switzerland told about her visit to a doctor, “I remember I had a terrible cough. It was so bad that I couldn’t sleep. After 6 hours in a line, the doctors just prescribed me drops for a cough. I paid 300+ francs for the drops.”
