After getting COVID, I experienced a heart event and tried to get help from healthcare provider sponsored by my employer. First I was sent to a clinic in Kamppi which insisted they didn’t have the right referral from the doctor and was therefore not allowed to sit in the waiting area. They phoned the doctor while I sat on the stairs outside, then said the doctor promised to make the referral but they could not give the EKG until she did, and I had to wait outside. Then after 20 minutes they came outside to tell me they can’t help me at all. I could not remember how to get to the emergency care at the hospital a few blocks over because I did not have enough oxygen in my brain, so I took the familiar bus home. On the way, the doctor phoned to tell me how stupid the nurses were and it was all their fault. She could not offer me any help.
Over the next months, the health system gaslit me and asked me what my Finnish husband thought about me making up my health problems. I was told if I did not take SSRIs I could not be offered any other treatment. One doctor told me I had fainting problems because I was getting older and carrying more weight (I am underweight).
When I visited my home country, I was diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia, confirmed with EKG that I had a heart attack, and was prescribed medication to manage the continuing symptoms.
I could have died because multiple Finnish doctors decided foreign women are liars.
When I raised a complaint with my employer about the treatment through their chosen healthcare provider, my Finnish colleagues all insisted they had never had such problems and of course they “believed” me but didn’t think anything needed to be done.
This country wants me dead as soon as possible.
