Private Vs Public

When people are well, they think they need the lowest coverage. But when they or their closest one are unwell... they just want them to have the best... to see the doctor asap, to seek the diagnosis and treatment asap.

A member of my family was unwell recently and the scheduled tests at the govt hospital and was slated at a very much later date much to our anxiety. Subsequently we decided to pay more to cut the queue. Within half an hour of calling the private specialist, we got an appointment and did the tests immediately. Speed is important when diagnosing possible problems but the govt hospitals are overloaded! Would anyone refuse better treatment if they could?

On another note, I just saw on FB that our ex-AHS principal, Mr Moo had passed on from cancer at a mere age of 63. How fragile life is. Rest in peace Sir...
