Wow. I’m gob smacked.
My surgery was private and I was offered a breast nurse at the private hospital. I have a public breast nurse who is also the McGrath nurse.
My chemo was public after I saw the oncologist privately for initial consult.
My rad is private but bulk billed.
These differences between services are what is wrong with the system. Every person should receive equality in care. We shouldn’t have to adventure our way through the system. :neutral:
