My experience in my European native country - at the time under Communism - is that when you don’t pay doctors; they don’t work. I had to bribe my guy with a carton of US cigarettes to get a shot. He was about to use a rusted, huge (I called it horse) syringe and I gave him another carton of cigarettes to give me the documentation I got the shot, but not to actually touch me with that syringe.

Interesting perspective, valuable because it is coming from someone with firsthand experience.
Thanks
