Do you have Public Health System in your Country? Do you like it? Or would prefer it to be private? (NHS related)

Lebanon pretty much the same. Private is great and cheap relatively. Here, after tearing my shoulder, the NHS kinda f***** me over. They literally sent me to an xray when I needed an MRI. When I asked for MRI, they gave me brochure for shoulder exercises that will soothe the pain.

2 years on, my shoulder still feels bad. And as you said, the referrals thing was also an issue. I eventually got an MRI in Lebanon when I was on vacation and it seems nothing is wrong anymore but I'm sure if I got it treated early then my shoulders would've healed.

Damn!!! Thats exactly my case!!! Im freaking scared it might happen to me. Where did it happen and they refused an MRI? Lebanon also?

By the way always wanted to visit Lebanon

Yeah healthcare in Lebanon is good (if you have insurance obviously). It also depends on what you're going in for, but they do try to keep you in bed if you have good insurance which is how private hospitals operate unfortunately. It all comes with pros and cons, but for physical injuries, the NHS is useless.
