Title: Does it tell you what you need to know?
Product review: I had recently read this book when I had a road accident in Portugal. Fortunately what followed was the opposite to what I could expect based on the book I had read. The book had left me with a picture of badly equipped hospitals and poor health care. On the way to casualty I feared the worst. To my amazement I received prompt attention, service was very efficient and courteous. I feel that this must be known in fairness to the Portuguese people who may be trying their best and in fairness to people like me, the foreigners, who may be unduly discouraged from enjoying this charming land. On health matters, as on others 'Living and working in Portugal: all you need to know to enjoy life in Portugal' may frighten you away rather than tell you 'what you need to know'. On accident emergency services, and other matters, this book may be relying more on preconceptions, not on facts. better take it with a grain of salt!
