  • Honestly depends.

    If it’s life or death urgent, an ambulance arrives, takes you away and with any luck, fix you right up. Visitors will likely have to pay to park at the hospital, and that will be your biggest expense. When my dad had a cardiac arrest, it was during covid, so the parking was free. The biggest expense was cleaning his blood off the carpets and putting their cat in the cattery for a week.

    If it’s something non-urgent, and the cause isn’t immediately found by a doctor, then you might go on a waiting list and be seen in a few months maybe. And even then it might not get sorted. It’s not like House.

    The most annoying bit is the 8am phone roulette to try and get an appointment.
