 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosel here. I'm making this video as part of my living in Israel YouTube playlist intended for people who are new to Israel who've recently made Aliyah. And we're looking for very basic practical information on how to live here. Basic things that are everyday things for people who've made Aliyah for a long time. But if you're brand new here or you're less acquainted perhaps with the internet, I hope these and the other videos I've done will be useful. For today's video I want to talk about how to book a how to search for doctors that work with the Makhabi, Kopat Cholim. Makhabi is one of four health funds in Israel. There's also a Makhabi, Klalit Me Yochetet and Leomit. Makhabi in particular is very popular among English speakers. I've been with Makhabi for basically my whole Aliyah and I've been extremely happy with it and I think you'll find that's a pretty common perception. So I'm going to do a future video if I can manage to obscure all my personal medical stuff on the Makhabi user interface. What I want to show today is just how to look up doctor appointments. So you're going to get started by typing in Makhabi Shirutim into Google and you're going to find this URL here called sirguide, sirprobablyshortforthservice.makhabi for you.co.al. The URL might change in time so I recommend just searching for Makhabi Shirutim. This knowledge is relevant on the 9th of June 2022. Makhabi could reorganize their site but at the moment this is how it works. So you'll get to this link after doing that. I recommend bookmarking this because it's super important part of the website. This is the itur shirut refuot makhanim bate makahat memparot ve'od. So it's a services guide I guess is the best English translation. Doctors, clinics, pharmacies and other things. So you can search for anything but it's if you're looking for a doctor to find who works with Makhabi, just click here on roughim and roughot. And now you're going to get to this search functionality and this is where you're going to be able to search for a particular type of medical specialist. So you can do here khipus mitkadem advanced search or you can do khipus chovshi free text search. I recommend using this and you'll see why in a second. It makes it easier to narrow down why you're looking for. So you can search according to the name of your doctor. Now something you'll notice is yes, this isn't in English. Israel not everything is available in English. So if you can navigate this basic Hebrew, you'll be a lot easier. I'm just going to offer basic translations here. Is a rofae berot zonachalim tso, which doctor do you want to find? Sheim rofae rofa, the name of the doctor. So if you know your doctor's name or want to find if a specific doctor works, you can put it in. Okay, let's say the doctor is called David Kohn. We can type here David Kohn. Or you can search by the hum tipul. And the hum tipul means the area of treatment. And this button here says lorishima. It means to go to the list. Now if you search for every rheumatologist in Israel, you're going to wind up with a very and not not so useful list. So you typically need to pair the service you're looking for with your geographic area. And this here is yeshuv and lorishima. And you can also search by katovet. So let's put these two things together. Firstly, let's say we're finding a, I don't know what you want to find. Let's say a neurologist. Okay, so this is a list of medical specialties. Oncologia is oncology. And then you also, you often have subcategories. Okay, so within oncology, there's subcategories. It's a little bit hard for the non-Hebri speaker to pronounce urologia, urology and urologia ieladim. So this is adult urology, regular urology. And this is a children's urology. And this is orthopedia, orthopedics. Let's just go with urologist for whatever reason. Okay, and you can tick multiple, but presumably most people will just be looking for one doctor at a time. So click on hamshech. And now we have urologia is populated in the Tuchum, Tuchum-Tipul search area. And let's say we want a urologist in Jerusalem. So we can begin typing in Hebrew, Yerushalayim. Enter. Or if you're not up to typing in Hebrew, you can click to the reshima. You can search here. Or you can just scroll down through the Hebrew alphabet until you find Yerushalayim. So if I do Yud, Resh, Vav, Sheen, I'm down to two options. One of those is Yerushalayim. I click hamshech. And now we have our two useful pieces of information populated. You're looking for a urologist in Jerusalem. Now we can click on hamshech, which means search. Now the Maccabi website is going to find you the doctors who work with the Kupa. We can see in this case we have found 24 doctors. And we can also filter, sorry, 45 doctors, 24 with Maccabi and 21 who are, I think, are in external clinics. Hofeh Maccabi, though, is what most people will be looking for. So that is how we get 45. So by default, you're on the Maccabi option. If we did search by Katowet Address, we could specify geographical radius even relevant to our house. But we can filter based on the results. Now a lot of folks are going to be looking for who can they see as quickly as possible. So Toro Panoui Karov. So this is filtering by default on urologists in Jerusalem who have an appointment soon. But we can also click on Karov Alai to find doctors to filter this list on doctors who are closest to us or on Shemish Pacha. Now there's also a feature called Mapa. And if you click on Mapa, we're going to see our doctors on a map. So you might not know the neighborhoods of Jerusalem yet, but you can click open on this map and you can see, okay, this doctor is here, this doctor is here, this doctor is here, this doctor is here, this one is convenient, etc. Okay, there's more options here. Now, something that will be very important to a lot of people is what language the doctor speaks. So we have here Ashirut-Nitan-Besafa, Ibrahim Hebrew, English, English, Yiddish, Yiddish, French, Arabic, Russian, German, Turkish. So let's go for Anglitz. What else can we filter on? We can filter on the gender of the doctor if it's a female doctor or a male doctor. And we can also filter on whether the doctor, whether it's going to be in a clinic or in a macabre clinic or in a hospital. So let's go for, I'm skipping a few things, I'm sorry, we can we can filter on the when they have appointments morning, afternoon or evening, what days they have appointments on. But most people probably English, you're going to look for someone if you're watching this video. And so now we're down to 45. So contrary to what people say, there are some doctors who don't speak English, because we just knocked off seven clearly. And we can search for any doctors. So Dr. Wiener Daniel, for example, and we have here his address. We have here Zimun Abitual Tor Panui Korov. This means his next available appointment is on the 12th of June, sorry, yes, the 12th of June, which is the next working day after him recording this video. His clinic is here, the number for booking appointments, if you want to do it by telephone is here, etc. And you can do Zimun Tor. And if you click on this, you will jump into the McCabe system and be able to jump straight to the appointment booking. But I'm not going to do that because I can't really do that without sort of a lot of work on my part with censoring. But that's the basic idea. If you want to know more about this doctor, you can click on the doctor. And you can even actually find out their educational backgrounds. This is an American doctor. You can see you went to the new graduate graduated in medicine from New York University in 1973. That matters to you. And you can see on a map where their clinic is. And you can also see this doctor's opening hours. You can see he's got availability on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. I think that's really all there is about to be said. I'm not going to stretch this video any longer. I hope if you're looking for a doctor in Israel who works with the McCabe Health Service that this information was useful. And thank you for watching.
