However, once when I was spending the day waiting at a local hospital, I met an English woman who was here on vacation and she assured me that waiting times in the UK were not as bad as here, and they say ours are better nowadays. We have spent so much time waiting in one of the local hospitals, I know the emergency rooms better than the staff do.

I also use the puiblic health system (here in Perth) and while the care I've had has always been top-notch, the waiting times are abominable. Good reading time, though, as you say!

I hope you get a firm diagnosis and appropriate treatment soon.

I do so understand what you mean about American medical services. We just vacationed there and needed to go to a doc. They wanted $189 for hubby to become a patient before they would even see him. Went somewhere else and they just charged for the visit plus the test. Much less.
