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!

    you will also be on immunosuppresants long term, because organ transplants too. only some of those medicines are probably cheap.

      Yes, and they are not cheap. I typically hit my insurance deductible by the end of February each year.

      I’m the kind of person insurance companies hate because I’m expensive and they can’t deny most of my care.
