I had only the lowest public insurance which determined a lot.
I had a c-section (kaisserschnitt) and was only given paracetamol (ibuprofen). I had no idea, except that it wasn't helping.
Some of the staff didn't seem to like me as a foreigner. My language skills were low, but functioning.
I had difficulties with my blood sugar and my blood pressure and had great difficulty getting the doctor to take things seriously.
I was labelled a "nervous foreigner" instead of being taken seriously (I'm normally a very smart, calm professor). I could have died from the poor treatment I received.

We chose the closest public hospital, took a tour, and made an appointment with the only female doctor.
I would find a better doctor -- one that spoke better English and respected my intelligence.
Arrange everything first; including discussing an emergency c-section and using epidural. Change doctors if you have ANY doubts. Go home if it's not going well.
