We hear so much bad about the public hospital system, but for emergency treatment, they are superb.

Hi Laurie,
Sorry to hear your unwell and happy to hear that they got to you quickly.
I know what you mean about public hospitals. When I had a very bad MVA in 1999, the public system in WA were brilliant, even right through the recovery period of 13 years. Had my last op at the beginning of this year. And again, they were brilliant, apart from one doctor, when I had a stroke two years ago.
Although we sometimes hear about the bad things that these hospitals do, we rarely hear about the many good things they do. I am alive (I actually stopped breathing and had to be resuscitated) only thanks to the efforts of the emergency personnel.
Slow and unwieldy the system may seem sometimes, but they are certainly there when you really need them. I have nothing but praise for all of them.
Hope you get better soon.
Cheers Peter
