Turkish Language - An apple a day keeps the doctor away..

If you don't feel too good...

signdoc.jpg 36kb In Turkey many doctors and surgeons and dentists practice privately, normally from out of their own apartments. Consequently There are many separate individual advertisements for specialists and the like. There are also health centers (polyclinics) in many of the dormitory suburbs in the larger cities. Also blood is big business and one can often see signs looking for fresh supplies.
Here we can see a myriad of such signs - there is a dentist, an ear nose and throat specialist and other doctors plying for trade from their own homes.

This establishment is offering some medical services. The people operating here are probably not qualified doctors but will be working in the medical field - maybe under the supervision of a doctor. It may also well be a co-operative venture. Normally these places can be well trusted to carry out their ministrations efficiently, safely and cheaply.
