It is rather attention grabbing the whole experience thats true... And I'm glad I do followed my little voice in the back of the head who said "do something you stupid".. And I should maybe have been calling 113 (the equivalent of 911 here in Norway) that night instead of waiting for Wednesday to arrive - as I suspected foul play here - but who could believe I had a heart attack at the age of 38... That's something for older people -like in the 50s or 60s
Stress and high blood pressure issue is also something that could do you no good - and a rather painfully experience no doubt - but it was problery hard enough for you to experience... and 3000 for a overnight stay just check that you are okay - wow I would possible never had been able to pay just that - or at least it would hit my savings account rather hard.... Not to say a whole week of hospital stay as I did... Or for that matter when my kidneys deiced to have a little holly day with pneumonia last year - and I was stuck in the hospital for 3 weeks - then I would have been broke for the rest of my life I suspect.. Or possible dead because of lack of treatment...
If I had not already been a supporter of universal health care - i would have been it then - and I do hope sometime down the road - also the americans would be able to experience what universal health care is all about - instead of for profit care as it is present in the US...
I'm also very glad I'm still here - and I will do my best to make sure to be here for years to come yet.. I try at least to make some point making a thoughtful post - and maybe at least give some perspective from abroad for things that's your world..
And a merry Christmas to you and your family and friends too.
