I have seen several remarks about English healthcare and the Canadian healthcare. I took the opprutunity to ask an English person their take on their health care. Her is the answer.
That's OK, I didn't mind saying what I did on the open thread as it may help others to see a bit of how it works. I must say having it so as you can just walk into a Hospital A&E (ER) and not have to worry as to whether your insurance covers you for them is a good feeling, and to know you will get the best treatment. If that particular hospital doesn't have the facilities to deal with your case, when you are stabilized and ready for transfer you will be sent by Ambulance to one that does. Usually with a Dr on tow to.
We also have an Air Ambulance Service, a Helicopter, will come with a Dr and three Paramedics to a scene of an accident where it is awkward for a normal ambulance to get to, or the patient has a back or neck injury and road travel will damage it more, they will be taken to the nearest specialist hospital.
If there is anything else you wish to know don't hesitate to ask, and I will try to help, where I can.
