Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Dear in AU, Have not heard from you in ages. I hope you and Greg are doing well. Did I understand correctly that you have to wait 2 months to get an appoinment to see a doctor? Seems like a long time, to me. I know some specialists have 3 month waiting lists, but for a GP, it should not be that long. What if you get really sick and can't wait 2 months? What do you do then, go to the emergency room? We are trying to gather information from our members from different countries to see how their health care is run. Your input is valuable, even your jokes. LOL In some instances, they do not allow the elderly care for cancer, or of joint replacements because they are too old and it would be too expensive for the healthcare system. At my age, I would be included in that bunch of castaways. I had better hurry and get my knee replacement and back surgery before they change our healthcare system. Do you know how your healthcare system is doing financially? I heard on the news that some country's healthcare were bankrupt. Keep in touch. Hands and hearts, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
