General Discussion

In this oppressive heat. I’m just back from southern France and the heat was horrendous. Now it’s over southeastern England and it’s simply atrocious. I can’t wait until it breaks.
Happy to hear you’re on the mend.
My first trip to the hospital here in England, I had a panic when I got home because I forgot to pay. My partner thought I was insane; I had to explain co-pays and bills to him. Once I get my new visa (which comes with a hefty NHS surcharge for each year of the visa, plus I also pay National Insurance), I’ll be purchasing a private policy as well just in case. I’m only 48 but don’t fancy waiting a year if I need something minor like a knee replacement. Running does bad things to my joints these days.
For all the big stuff, the NHS is brilliant and specialists in London are top notch.
I’m glad your bills didn’t cause another cardiac episode!
