Just before I left Australia I had a brain scan, suspected cyst, GP sent me to emergency at the Northern in Melbourne, they decided I was in no immediate danger but should see a neurologist, they'd make the appointment, about 8 weeks later I got a letter from them, it said the waiting list was more than 12 months, did I want to stay on the list, if you think things are better in the hospital system at least in Victoria, then you are kidding yourself.
