10 Tips for English speakers going to the doctor in Madrid

Going to the doctor can be stressful, especially in another language, and when you’re not feeling well. I hope these tips help. 1. Get a ‘justificante’. Always ask how to get a “justificante” either while checking in, or when leaving the doctor. If you have a job and are missing work, you will need this paper to prove or justify your absence from work or school. 2. Don’t forget to bring your ID card (TIE) and insurance card. 3. Find a pharmacy with cheaper prices.
