When I broke my wrist I marvelled at the public hospital. "Oh nauurrr, whaddya done ta yaselff?" The triage staff greeted me at the door, giving me the good old green whistle usually reserved for rugby sidelines to suck on for pain relief. Just two hours after going bum over boobs on the pavement, they had me back home with a cast on and a follow-up outpatient clinic appointment the next day.
