No more Gosford Hospital for me

After the Gosford Hospital make-over I had a heart event and drove into the emergency department and fortunately got a park close to the entrance.

After treatment a few hours later I came out and found a parking ticket.

I realised things had changed and you cannot park free or for any length of time even in emergency parking any more.

I fought the ticket and won with a caveat never to do that again.

What?

Never have a heart attack again?

I did have a further suspected heart attack coming on and decided to go by ambulance (for the first time in my life).

I copped an earful all the way that I should have paid for an Uber to get there as I was not an emergency.

When I arrived I saw several ambos all standing around shooting the breeze.

I have paid into the ambulance levy for years but will never, ever, use it again, I think I would rather die.

My wife is a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and treats my heart attacks and the acupuncture has fixed me a few further times.

No more Gosford Hospital or ambulances for me.

Seeing as how Woy Woy Hospital is a non-event, I had better apply for an Uber licence.
