you do know we have private hospital's here too, you are aware there isn't any real difference but the price?
In 1997 I was diagnosed with cancer. I live in Spain and at that time had private medical insurance. I decided I would prefer to have the op in UK, language no problem, family nearby etc.
When I saw the consultant privately he asked me whether I wanted it done NHS or private. Either way it would be done immediately. He said he would do the op in either case but in a private hosp I would have a room to myself etc. He also said, that if there were any complications doing it in the private hospital, it would be no problem because he could rush me to NHS hospital across the road.
