I went to a private hospital ER with an infection that was spreading five times over two weeks before being admitted. At that point I needed surgery.

Public isn't any better. My wife is allergic to codeine and had to stay awake all night after an injury that left her hospitalized. Why? Because doctors kept trying to give her medication that she's allergic to. The doctors and nurses made fun of her for being in pain and refusing medicine. It took a specialist coming in the next day and chewing them out to give her anything. They wouldn't even give her an extra ibuprofen.

Quality of care here is unbelievable.
