i'm not sure my experience will help you much as i'm in the US.
but i had decent experiences there. except that like the others said, it doesn't do much. the main reasons to go are: to keep you safe. very important and will work quite well for this. secondly if you want to alter your meds quickly, they can do a great job of this and believe me doing it this way NEEDS monitoring. i've had several bad side effects by changing quickly, but luckily i was in hospital and they could help.The nurses we're great, but there's always that One...
i was able to see MY pdoc in the hospital all but once and that was a plus.
otherwise its a roulette game. the one time i did not...ooh, not good. he completely rediagnosed me and wanted to change my meds and everything but talked to my pdoc and my pdoc INSISTED NO. he advocated for me. very good.so anyway. mostly good experiences. but since you're only there for typically 3 days there's not much they can do.
HOWEVER, sometimes those 3 days are EXACTLY what i needed.
Best Wishes. and please stay safe.
