I need to learn what services SUS offers and how to navigate the bureaucracy. Can anyone point me to a "SUS for Dummies"? Thanks. Alan

Is this SUS or a private clinic?

I saw another ophthalmologist. The lens implanted in my cataract surgery a month ago is a tiny bit out of position, resulting in poor vision and dilation. It may not be correctable.

I complained to the eye clinic via WhatsApp. The surgeon filed a complaint with Policia Civil against me.

An English speaking attorney near me has a conflict of interest. He will refer me to a public defender to make a deal with the surgeon.

SUS subcontracts to a private clinic and the private clinic subcontracts surgeries to a private eye hospital. The clinic and hospital are run by the same family.

I'm sorry to hear of your bad experience and now messed up eye!!!

We have an ophthalmologist in the family that is superb and have had great success with her - but she is not SUS... only does specially referred clients that lack private insurance.
