How to find a responsive doctor for chronic pain

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you would need what can be found by searching for "Fachklinik für Schmerztherapie", preferably near Bochum. Maybe your problem is that your choices are narrowed down by the need to find an English-speaking doctor. It would be more important to find a doctor who specializes in…

Using a Dutch bank account & card in Germany

If a vendor or ATM anywhere in the world accepts Maestro (often showing the logo at the cashdesk), then a valid card with a similar Maestro logo, from anywhere else in the world will (should) be accepted.

Working from home in Germany: pros and cons

Fear not. Once the DHL and Hermes drivers figure out that you work from home, you'll be getting a few visits per day. I was beginning to wonder if they even tried to ring my neighbors' bells anymore, or if they just came straight to my house with packages for the whole street. [img] [/img]…

Property law and my UK flat

Have you got a copy of your lease? Even if the Flat 1 leaseholders do own the area in question, there is every chance that your lease gives you rights of way over it. I used to be a solicitor but it's over 20 years ago now and brain fog has intervened. However I reckon I can still interpret a lease,…

A tale of domestic violence.

My sister left an abusive relationship and she couldn't let go for months, years. She would spend hours on the phone to the pillock while we yelled 'hang up you silly cow!' in the background. She wanted 'the last word' and he was very controlling - it was a vicious circle. Fast…
