Hi ,

I am a teacher working in Madrid, and would like to use the Spanish Health service, see a doctor, get a prescription, etc.

As I'm working and my Social is (apparently) being paid by my school, do I need a health card to go to a doctor, or is just my passport and Social Security number ok?

If I need a Spain Health card, how do I get one? My appointment for NIE isn't until mid-June!

Thanks for any advice or tips
Philip
