Fuck you private health cover!

"Its almost 12 months wait to get it done where you want to go"

I agree with Simon on this, they don't fuck around if there is a real cause for concern.
Why are you booking yourself into this op?

You doctor should be doing it and why don't you get him/her to try somewhere else.

Do you have to go to this place "where you want to go"?
On the referal there will be many places that you could go and get the op done, why not try somewhere else?

Sucks to hear about your problem but there are always other options.
Your stressed and not thinking straight, sit back and start again.

it is a kick in the balls (while your down), you pay a LOT of money for the private cover the whole idea of having to pay a "gap" is fucking bullshit

[DaveG]

Mate are you blind? I am being referred.

I live in a rural area and drive interstate for a living.
I had a 2 day wait for bloods after I got out of hospital and I had to get back on the hwy to stop me going broke.

Don't sit there and harp on about what they should do when they Arnt doing it.
I was referred and the waits on public and private are to long so I'm using my referral and paying cash to get in faster because I want to know why I'm so sick.

I've got enough to deal with without adding idiots to the equation.

Living in a small country town, there aren't always other options. As it is, the clinic is an hour away, so while "somewhere else" might be practical in the cities, we are no longer part of that world.

Blind... ummm no.
Everyone waits for bloods, 2 days is good.

I offered my opinon having knowledge of the system, you want to get your back up that's your decision.

Idiot, maybe... Thanks for your assessment of me.
Good luck

I only have one thing, oh well two things, to say about this.

1. That needle they give you prior to going up, that one that takes you out of play is a fucking brilliant rush, the procedure is worth it just for that.

2. Welcome to the bush, cash is king, hope all goes well mate.

its even got a magnet so you can find your keys!

How rural are you?

Given the small amount of Info we have and knowing that the op is a day op that has you not driving the next day so you will be off work for 2 days regardless is it possible to try and book it in a lager town or city and get in quicker?

I understand you have booked in and are paying up front so hopefully that will give you the answers you you need

I guess living in the country has its draw backs from time to time.

I thought standard deal was a mobile phone with the camera on nowdays.

which qoute are you refering to weasel ?? my who gives a toos if about money !!
or merlyns reply??

mine was in favour of ur problem ? so no im not blind , yes you have a referal andyou had to wait so you booked in and have a 4th june appoint for cash even tho you have private health cover and as i read it is the cause of your post
why have pvt health if you pay by cash you get in within 2 weeks !! or did i read it wrong ??
unless ive missed something we all hate the fact ur unwell and with the possibility of having ur gut cut out due to rust issues we all agreed in a roundabout way that pvt health aint good but quicker than public!!

and stu hit it on the head cash talks !!

We are quite rural, the closest big town is Wagga at 100kms away. We have booked in the op in Wagga, which is an hour from Tumut.

It is a day op, but he needs to be near a bathroom 2 days beforehand, and given the hour drive from home to Wagga, he will be needing a hotel room for those 2 days. Plus the day off work.

Albi, in regards to costs - There are a lot of things going on at the moment, so while money is no issue when it comes to his health, the week off, the op and the accomodation before the op will be quite costly - which increases the stress.

[Deano]

You don't need a hotel for 2 days before hand. If you are booked in for say 9am like I was you start taking the stuff about 5pm the night before, shit like there is no tomorrow till say 9pm then you are pretty safe to drive the 100km the morning of.

That's what I did when I had mine done. I booked it in for a Friday so just left work half hour early on the Thursday and weekend are days off for me so only had 1 sick day.

Do you get sick days as these will be covered if you do or have any left that is.

what he said, i have them annually, I see my doc who then reffers me then the specialist gets me in and i get sorted always with a couple of days. I never have to do more than a clear out the day before and thats normally all done and dusted by early evening, Used to be different with the 4 bottles of saline solution, but now tis fine the next day the drive to the hospital is never a concern but you cant drive home so its a two man job thats for sure. When your full of gas after the 'inspection' thats when the fun begins.

I used to get sorted in Sydney at concord hospital and now its on the Gold Coast at Allamanda private. Cant ever remember it being more than two weeks wait though From initial phone call to me getting driven home

If this is about private cover i dont have an issue, i think the complaint should be 'fuck cuntry health services'

And i concur with others the drugs are good.

Good Luck weasel hope it all checks out ok in the end ......

[JackTar]

Jacktar can't fix it because I already blame him for everything

Jacktar doesn't have to worry about any of this kind of shit because he is still in the defence force. We might not get a pension anymore but I got cancer this year and it was sorted out toot sweet.

I hope you're alright fanta pants.
