Yesterday I finally saw my new psychiatrist. She seemed nice, but unfortunately her English isn't nearly as good as my last psychiatrist's. There was also a problem getting me into the system. Not her fault, but the Czech government's. Just yesterday I got a new Czech ID. There was a switch to biometric IDs and they had to do something to reflect my surname(s) issue. We think that whatever they did is the cause of the problem, creating a miscommunication (or faulty linkage) with the national health insurance database. The hassle with my surname(s) seems never fully ending! The new ID does show both versions, though. Boo hiss!
Today we have no obligations. I do have to fill my pill boxes, though. We need to call my new psychiatrist to say that my E-recepty (electronic prescriptions) never reached me. The cause of this is uncertain, but another hassle. Could be related to the new ID snafu or as simple as her using the wrong cell phone number.
