I woke up with really bad abdominal pain last night and it hadn't changed by late this morning. I'm on holiday and spent the rest of the day being seen, tested and diagnosed by various departments of two different hospitals I'd never been to before.
No charges. No insurance paperwork. No stress other than getting my pain sorted out. I'll have surgery in a few months. Same again there. Junior doctors are ok strike today but I didn't feel affected as I was an emergency.
Thanks NHS.
