    Have you contacted the hospital to see if they have wifi?

    They do, it's flakey as... this has been the general opinion of those who has gone before me.

    My findings:

    1. any kind of roaming with a UK SIM (whether data or voice) is absurdly expensive;

    2. data through a local mobile network usually worked pretty well, obviously so long as there was a decent signal. Mind you I only used it for simple things like maps, email, Facebook and Uber. In the cities there is usually a 4G connection available;

    3. the problem is that the process for getting a local SIM card is incredibly bureaucratic, and always took me around three weeks!

    All in all, your best option is to rely on local contacts; friendly nurses, people like that.

    My best wishes for your medical procedure: I hope that you will post about the whole experience, and how your life changes afterwards.

    I'm not sure i would be able to post here but.... rebootmewithhsct(dot)co(dot)uk see where google sends you with that.. :)
