That is not a good state to be in and my heart goes out to you.<br /><br /> It is unfortunate though that this post seems to have a go at the people who have private health insurance. I have private health insurance, and I put raising my beautiful children as 'a priority'. I got a university education (distance education) and got a career (as a teacher, when the oldest went to uni and we needed more money). But that doesn't mean my children were undervalued. It is just a life choice. No value judgement implied.<br /><br />Not being seen immediately in the public system isn't about punishing you for bringing up lovely children. It is the way big public systems, which try to be impartial, work. Not always perfect for sure and my heart does go out to you. Pain and fear stop one from living a decent life. I hope your health issues are resolved soon.Julie Delveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136924713399125514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688441645485894936.post-42646755238382870242012-10-08T13:21:28.638+11:002012-10-08T13:21:28.638+11:00my heart breaks for you reading this post.

Have you been back to your lovely gp and had a whine?<br />Dont go private - you wont be ablet to afford it - my surgeons bill (well 2 surgeons etc) was $14500 of which I will probably have to pay around $2500 as I have private health coverblessedspeedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428935676559250313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688441645485894936.post-5695783143036535112012-10-05T19:23:48.058+10:002012-10-05T19:23:48.058+10:00This IS the second opinion.

Lst year I also saw a surgeon at the Royal Melbourne who dismissed that a 5kg cyst would cause my belly to be so large, and said I was "just bloated". He must have had a chat to this surgeon who now thinks I am "bloated" and who didn't seem to believe me last month when I said I was back in size 10 shapers in May. I just do not understand the 90 day thing. And that I am so tired and miserable and pained.Banaghaisgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239833799152483912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688441645485894936.post-87790997937765471622012-10-05T17:33:55.499+10:002012-10-05T17:33:55.499+10:00Are you allowed a second opinion and keep on turni...Are you allowed a second opinion and keep on turning up at A&E until they do something.

People going public for giving birth will pay many thousands less than I will and they didn't pay for the insurance on top of it.<br /><br />What other surgeons are there? Maybe go private to get the tests done and to get a second opinion? Jaime Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929321189864249791noreply@blogger.com
