- I'm in Lleida. Which hospital has an emergency department?
- Hospital Universitari Arnau de Vilanova in Lleida has an emergency department, and so does Hospital Comarcal del Pallars in Tremp. In an emergency, call 112. In Catalonia, 061 Salut Respon also gives health advice.
- Can you help after a hiking or skiing day in the Pyrenees?
- For minor problems, yes: sprains you can walk on, blisters, sunburn, colds and stomach upsets. Anything serious, such as a head injury, a suspected fracture or trouble breathing, needs 112 or a hospital, not a video visit.
- Can I get an invoice for my insurer?
- Yes. The video visit is €50 for 15 minutes, every day from 07:30 to 20:30, Spain time, with an itemised invoice for your insurer.
- Which areas around Lleida do you cover?
- By video, all of them: Lleida, Tremp, the Pallars Jussà, the Lleida Pyrenees, Balaguer and Tàrrega. You need a phone or laptop and a quiet spot with a good connection. Dr. Yelamo does not do home visits.
- Is Dr. Yelamo licensed to practise in Spain?
- Yes. Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera is a physician licensed in Spain (Nº Colegiado 484814280) and a member of the Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Médicos de Bizkaia. He sees patients by secure video in Lleida and across Spain, and you always see the same named doctor.
- What can a video visit cover?
- Common illnesses, new symptoms and short-term follow-ups. Reviews of suitable long-term medicines. Advice, or a second opinion on test results. Children and pregnant patients can be seen too. Treatment and prescriptions are issued solely at the doctor's discretion, only if clinically indicated after a video assessment. Controlled medicines, such as sleeping pills, strong painkillers, stimulants and gabapentinoids, are not prescribed online.
- What if I need to be examined in person?
- Some problems need a physical exam, a scan or emergency care. If yours does, you will be told clearly and pointed to the right in-person service in Lleida. In an emergency, call 112: the video service is for urgent, non-emergency care.
