Thanks Dan, this is illuminating. I was urgently referred to a hospital specialist just over a week ago, my appointment letter arrived yesterday and it’s only a month away. There will always be horror stories, but my life-long experience in the system has been largely positive. I will fight tooth and nail for public healthcare in New Zealand and your three Americans have reinforced that view.

This was so interesting to read! I wonder whether people from different countries would have different experiences than people coming from the US. Loved reading about this little behind the scenes in our healthcare system!
