From what I have heard, you have to go to whatever clinic is assigned to your particular village. That is very discriminatory. You should be able to choose what doctor you want to go see. If you are not happy with the Dr.s at the clinic you are assigned, you can't go to another clinic to find one that you will be happy with.

In response to NJBlue about the Dr. asking what meds you are taking. It's quite possible that the Dr. is trying to see if you really know what your meds are. There are many people that don't know what their meds are. They just know that they take 2 little white ones, a big red one and occationally a orange one. These are just examples. I used to be on a Rescue Squad and know for a fact that many people don't know what their meds are.
