About 2 years ago we had to take a teenager to Montmorillon hospital as he twisted his ankle. Fell down a hole, don't ask. We made the mistake of not getting a ticket. To be honest if someone hadn't pointed it out to us we'd probably not have noticed, and if we went back we'd probably struggle again. Anyway we were seen very very quickly. I think we must have waited less than 15 minutes. With the power of my limited French, google translate and a lot of hand gestures we made ourselves understood. He was whisked off for an x ray and all was fine.
I was panicking about how much it would cost, even though we handed over his EHIC. From what I remember it was ridiculously inexpensive. It only cost about 20 odd euros. In fact we were advised to get him an ankle support from the pharmacy which was more expensive. The whole experience was fantastic. It put our local hospital here in the UK to shame.
