Well the stone will be taken out on 20th October for an overnight stay. Not deemed an emergency so that is when I go in.
I'm going to attempt to explain our healthcare system.
Each year in our taxes a small % is taken out and that goes towards our emergency hospital visits (for free) it means that Medicare (govt run) gives you back a % of your Doctors fees each visit, this is called public medical. You can also opt to be in one of the Private funds that you pay a monthly fee depending on what you wish to claim (not us). BUT you can pay to go to a private hospital or specialist Doc anytime you like. So we are in the public healthcare system but will be paying privately for the operation, theatre, anesthesia and Doc etc. no % back, BUT I do the the best Doc in that feild and a private room etc.
Is that as clear as mud?
