Truly glad you are really on the mend and they are making sure you are safe to fly home.
But also very fortunate you were in #UK w #NHS and not in #US w no med insurance.😉😊- Kent Parkstreetkentparkstreet1@mastodon.onlineOct 23, 2026, 10:41 PM
I don’t think anyone goes to the US without health insurance now. That would be crazy.
Given good insurance, the medical care is actually excellent, in most cities at least. It’s only Americans who are failed so badly by their system.

I would think that delivery of Vegemite to hospitalized Australians is a high priority for staff in our High Commission. Humanitarian aid really.- Kent Parkstreetkentparkstreet1@mastodon.onlineOct 23, 2026, 10:43 PM
An automatic thing, report of Australian in hospital, despatch the Vegemite.

@MsDropbear42 @kentparkstreet1 @feather1952 Another example of where austerity measures have gone way too far.
