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!

Good to know! Still have to watch out for that every service you receive is counted as "in-network". I've read horror stories where somebody with an emergency goes to a hospital that their insurance promises them is "in-network", then later receive a surprise bill because one of the doctors that attended them at that hospital was "out-of-network". Why was the doctor at that hospital then? It's just something they do apparently.
