I am sorry to hear that Lyonlady,here is not much better really,dirty hospitals and people getting all these serious bugs,an MRI is something you only get if your on deaths door,now my friends in the States are ex military,they are on Tricare,had triple heart bypass,colonoscopies,regular check ups,so I envied their care.
I had my gall bladder out before keyhole surgery,massive big incision right down my tummy,they never tell you that you encounter other things once it is out,wont go into that here though.
I hope you soon get proper medical cover.
