Last week in my outpatient clinic, I met a lady who told me that she misses her homeland, she misses the weather, her family and the lifestyle. I asked her what was stopping her returning and was shocked when she told me it was the health service. She had had previous surgery in the UK and was concerned that if she ever left and the problem returned, she would not be able to afford the care required.
I found this very sad. Would you ever consider sacrificing everything for the sake of good healthcare, even if it meant living apart from your family?
