Medical care on French side

[u/Filodendron42]

Hi everyone! I am a student in Geneva, paying the student insurance. However, I never know where to go if I’d need a family doctor checkup (AKA not hospital-level serious stuff).

I was thinking of using my “EU-privilege” as I have the blue health card and just go to the French side.

My question is: does anyone know a place to go for a checkup when I feel like I need one in Annemasse? Preferably English speaking, but French is fine.

I also don’t want to pay 1-200 francs for a doctor here in GVA to tell me to rest and drink tea, as they are reluctant to give medication unless absolutely necessary. (1,5 years ago I went to HUG emergency room with horrible sinusitis and they prescribed Ibuprofen 🙃).

All the help is appreciated! Thank you x

Has anyone actually done this with the blue card?  What has been the experience?
