Well at the start of the year I had never heard of this problem .But after the first cutting and draining of the right side of my throat I assumed that was it ! Wrong ! It came back 4 weeks ago very fast and another cut and drain and a night in Hospital.then 10 days ago it was real bad so another cut ,however to no avail so a deeper cut etc and 3 days in hossie. Well finally they put me in the Eye and Ear yesterday .They were going to take out my tonsils but as they were really non existent they decided to cut deep into the rear back corner of my throat for @ 50ml across and 60ml down and remove a large amount of excess tissue so it won,t reoccur and stitch it up.Then they hit you with the morphine and send you home @7.00PM .My son in law kinda carried me to the car and last night was a fog .Wifey drove us back to Echuca today and I have had a "Jason recliner day " The 5hrs cost me $ 1872 after the rebates from Medi private OH WOW. I sarcastically asked the office lady upon arrival when I paid ,how long it would take on the public system ? She said for someone my age [64 ] it would be @ 12 months !Bugger So what are you going to do !Cheers John

Always thought I couldn't afford to get sick is I had it. Costs a small fortune monthly and then they have the nerve to bill you when you claim. But.. what do you do?
