Question about private/public for a friend
I'm asking so I can advise a friend who is newly diagnosed and possibly does not want me to ask at all so I will keep the details confidential. She does not have private cover and has a referral to R...
I don’t think there is any harm in asking the question. I saw my oncologist privately for the first consult. I then decided to attend chemo as a public patient. My oncologist is the director of the region and arranged this. My reviews are with him strictly. I see the rotating junior doctor weekly (on paclitaxol). He is only a phone call away for any trouble shooting.
For my surgery, I was a private patient. I paid the gap. Couldn’t be happier. My surgeon is the “project manager”. She co ordinates my treatment in the back ground.
My radiation oncologist is private but bulk bills.
Im not sure how surgeons would work publicly. You can only ask the question.
