I have Epilepsy and saw my Neurologist today. Upon going there on the bus, I started to get a condition from earlier this year.

My specialist suggested a solution.

I was really impressed with what was suggested, thanking her. I said I was was really impressed with the fact that we have so many intelligent specialists here, compared to poor and war torn countries.

Too many people complain in Australia - like the $7.00? GP payment. Why? Look at Palestine or many third world countries and their countires. Grow up Australia - and stop complaining! We are a lucky country!

Quite right NathanJ.
We have one of the best health systems in the world, and yet still they complain!

Having travelled overseas extensively, I can honestly say we ARE the lucky country.
And this is despite Medicare, climate change, multiculturalism and our political system.

Australians let us rejoice!

Dear Nathan and Suse,

Hear! Hear!

I've recently undergone my second catheter ablation -
(fingers-crossed it worked this time). However,
my specialist, the hospital staff, could not have
been better. We are indeed fortunate in this
country. And having full medical insurance - the
cost to me was nominal. The care - first-class.

NathanJ

well said.

Susie and Foxy

I take it your ok with Nathan telling people not to complain about the $7 GP payment. First time I know of you lining up with the Government.

Fingers crossed from me too Foxy : )
I need you here to fight in my corner!

Having recently been a patient myself, at both a public and a private hospital, and even despite being a nurse, it was still a positive experience.
Both hospitals treated me equally well.

i got my electricity bill today for the past month. It is $90.- My reaction was gee i didn't think I was using that much power. My wife then said 'that's only $3.00 per day & I thought gee that's cheap !
