Robert,

Greetings to a fellow American living in Germany! But I can not
understand
why it should be hard to go to a doctor in this country! Are you
insured? If not, march
straight to the nearest AOK (find it in the phone book). And then to see
Herrn Doktor! There are doctors enough in Germany. It's not like in
Nepal or Afganistan here. And it will be much cheaper than in the States
as
well. Good luck.

Best regards,

David
