I spent half that time in Critical Care (much of that on a ventilator, a small amount sedated), and most of the rest in a specialist neuro-rehab unit. I would have died otherwise.

Fortunately it cost me nothing - Thank Bevan for the NHS - but if I were in the US I imagine I would be financially crippled!

      Most of the time you can set up a payment plan but that’s still brutal

      Fortunately (?) the reason for the insurance change was my company was acquired by a giant company. Bye bye signing bonus…
