    Current therapist, hoping to study psychiatry in Argentina

    Not to discourage you, but it will be a very complex and lengthy process. We are talking years. If you are fluent in Spanish and want to work with local patients, it may be best to pursue a BS in psychology, that takes 4 years and can be done online at a private university ( compared to US...

    If you look on MercadoLibre, make sure you enter the chassis number just so it only shows you parts that are compatible 100%.

    Medical insurance through a sindicato?

    Osecac is one of the largest ones. It is very decent, you just have to explore and see how it works.

    Medical Expenses

    It really is not a good deal at all. Depending on how much you use it, I would actually consider getting a higher plan with copays ( really it all depends on how much you use it, how much you travel, and your existing conditions ).

    Medical insurance through a sindicato?

    It all depends on what kind of insurance: if it is through monotributo, registered employment, if it is tied to your activity or you chose a different obra social. Some are very good, others the horror. It really all depends. Also some people redirect their obra social contribution to a private...

    Medical Expenses

    There is a constant shortage of sheets and pillows in all public hospitals that has been ongoing for years. I do not understand no washing or disinfecting wounds after MRI/ CT scan though. Tetanus vaccine being unavailable and zero analgesia is also unacceptable.

    Medical Expenses

    You definitely chose the best available option given the emergency. If you have colleagues in Arg reaching out could have maybe helped get treated in a better facility ( or them showing up and talking to hospital staff could have helped to some extent ). I never travel abroad without insurance...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    It is very unfortunate but true, the fact that relatively recent events such as 2001 mega crisis are forgotten. I believe this is a sign of the times (worldwide). As for the country's finances and ecomomics, tbere is a reason why it is regarded as a leading case and studied in universities...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    It is amazing how much in depth knowledge you seem to have about Argentina's politics, economy, finances, food, businesses, culture, past and future as a passerby. Why join and bother posting in some expatriate forum if you don't mind me asking?

    Chorizo opinions

    Unless you have a butcher you know and like the chorizos he sells ( I don't and there aren't many real butcher stores in Recoleta anymore ) I like Magret brand chorizos ( chorizo fresco > beef + pork ) they also have 100 % pork but I am not a fan of pork only chorizos, it is a personal taste...

    When an American dies here... question

    an escribano can draft the document in a way that it will be taken into account by a judge in these kind of situations, it can be a poa, hand written letter with certified signatures, etc. As long as registered good as not involved. Still because of Arg law, the next of kin will always be...

    When an American dies here... question

    Bottom line: get a power of attorney, it is not expensive ( about 150 dollars )

    When an American dies here... question

    If the person dies in a medical facility, police is not involved and they will contact the embassy to locate family or relatives. Legally the rental contract ends if the tenant passes. The landlord can change the lock and make an inventory. If next of kin cannot be located and there is no...
