'My doctor is a magician," so begins the old joke, "every time he sees me, €100 disappears from my pockets and appears in his bill." We've all experienced that one. Doctors are meant to make us feel better, but their bills tend to provoke the opposite effect. In fact, medical care in Ireland is so expensive that it has become prohibitive for some.
The Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) has reported a rise in recession-related illnesses -- namely stress and depression -- however, the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) says the numbers of fee-paying patients attending surgeries have dropped.
It's a dangerous state-of-play. The recession has moved medical care from essential to discretionary expenditure. People are presenting later, or worse, not at all, for essential check-ups because their finances just aren't healthy enough. Others have been forced to travel across the border to receive treatment.
Last year, more than 40,000 people cancelled their private healthcare cover. Also, in 2009, the Phizer Index noted a reduction in the numbers of people visiting doctors, going for a medical screening or going into hospital for a medical procedure or operation.
