This is how the intake appointment went (that I pay 85€ for):
I waited for some time, after which the doctors assistant (who was very friendly) took some notes regarding the scars and treatment I had so far. She asked me to undress to take pictures.
While standing there without shirt the doctor came in, didn't really greet me or acknowledged me as a human, looked at the scars from a distance and the whole 3 MINUTES that he was in the room he basically spent on communicating that the treatment is going to be "very expensive" and that there is no way of making it cheaper.
I came there looking for help with the scars (that I feel quite self-conscious about), I had not mentioned anything regarding money. The doctor didn't take the time to really look at me or engage with me, he basically just told me that there are some treatment options, but that I probably can't afford them.
I was too stunned to react to him in that moment, when he left I asked the assistant if he's always like this and she, smiling apologetically, suggested I ask for a different doctor next time.
