Australia Day

I’m going to write up a little thing about my recent adventure soon but I’d just like to reflect one part of being Australian. Because I have the great fortune of being born here, over the last three days I was able to call a free government health service that made sure I was sent an ambulance, I had prompt emergency treatment, I had a chest xray, I had an ecg, I had a cardiac ct scan using the latest technology available, I was given drugs to help me, I had three nights in a hospital and will receive ongoing care.
And none of this cost me a cent.
A happy and healthy Australia day everyone.
And that’s what makes Australia wonderful. I’m so glad I’m not in the states. Happy Aussie Day, T!
The lucky country indeed.
