Zawa zawa ? <| sep |> All the upvotes for this bitch ! <| sep |> Private is good if you need to be able to choose a specialist . I have a medical issue which means I want to choose a specialist to know my condition and work with me over time . Private day surgeries tend to be much quicker and more efficient . I will possibly also need major surgery for my condition in the future , and ongoing care , so I am not happy to rely on the public roulette for that . I also desperately need genetic testing done and the public wait list is 18 months . Pregnancy related private health options far , far outweigh public , IMO . But again , as I said in my previous post , it ' s a risk assessment you have to make personally for your own circumstances .
