So called 'health tourism' has been in the press in the last days/weeks, but while it probably isn't the problem the government or the Daily Mail would have us believe, the two patients in front of me were visitors expecting to be treated in an emergency department, with cold symptoms that had developed the day before (I clearly heard the conversation with the obviously exasperated staff) while I waited inline sweating having just ridden to the hospital from my crash site. It just struck me they may have been wasting A&E's time & money?
Any way, very off track, more interested in broken bone recovery stories!
