German/Italian leads me to ask: was this in the North?

Italian medical doctor here. Despite the majority of the procedures/drugs are for free, the Italian people still complain when have to pay a small amount of money (and I mean 10 euros or less) for some of them.

I remember my friends and I (Americans) were vacationing in Spain and one of our friends got bitten by a monkey while walking around Gibraltar. We went to the hospital in Spain and the staff were super concerned and worried for us that we were international and his insurance might not cover the shots. They prefaced that they could work something out if the bill was too much when they handed him the invoice. It was 15€. Mind blown.
