A Frightening Experience in the US ER
Sara Resende's first visit to an ER in the United States turned into a distressing experience that left her anxious for months. During this visit, she was alarmingly informed that she might have cancer even before her biopsy results were available. This overwhelming stress led her to rethink her approach to healthcare.
Annual Check-ups in Portugal
In response to her unsettling experience, Sara now travels back to Portugal annually for her routine and specialist check-ups. She finds comfort in the healthcare system in her home country, where she feels more secure and valued as a patient.
