I have recently been subjected to both Health Services in my life - UK and US. Whereas the American Medical System can be elitest, serving only those who can afford it - it's efficient! You go to the medical centre and get everything done in the same place. They sent me home with notes from my operation, ex-rays, and directions for my doctor to follow to see if the plate is doing what it should...
At my UK doctor I was told: I wouldn't have the first idea what to do with this, i'll write a letter to the fracture clinic and you should have an appointment in a couple of weeks - doesn't fill me with a great deal of confidence!
So, in short, I think I'm lucky to have such good insurance in the US and look forward to getting back over there to get my wrist fixed!!
