Hi Mike, & all. Glad your experience was Ok. I'm in the UK & a few years ago my dad had a nasty stroke, he waited on an ambulance trolley in A&E for 7 hrs for a bed in a ward, & he devoted his working life to the NHS as a brilliant ophthalmologist!
I do have to say that sometimes our NHS may not be perfect all the time, but we are damn lucky to have it. I've used A&E a good few times & I'm glad it's there - I can't imagine living with the US system, it seems so elitist. The US spends trillions of $'s warmongering & yet it can't provide healthcare for all, a basic human right it purports to promote. No offence to you at all Mike, but I'm glad I'm British (& there are a lot of things British that I'm not proud of) I wouldn't like the way the US behaves in the world on our collective conscience.
