I spent half that time in Critical Care (much of that on a ventilator, a small amount sedated), and most of the rest in a specialist neuro-rehab unit. I would have died otherwise.

Fortunately it cost me nothing - Thank Bevan for the NHS - but if I were in the US I imagine I would be financially crippled!

    That is bankruptcy, pure and simple. There’s no way you’d financially recover from a four month stint in the hospital.

    People have literally unalived themselves here over hospital bills like that.

    Thank God you weren’t in a shit hole country, like the US.
