I’ve just spent the last 72 hours on and off in the #publichospitalsystem and I have a few thoughts to share. I just want to mention that I have worked in the #publichospitalsystem myself for 20 years and I am a firm #believer in our universal healthcare system Overall I had great care. I was involved in a collision in an indoor mixed soccer game and I fell backwards on my head. I felt concussed but probably didn’t lose consciousness and went to the emergency dept where I was seen promptly and had a CT scan within a couple of hours
