Awh, Mick /: How's the organ transplant system over there? Smooth? Or long waits?

There are about 800 of us on the transplant list and they do about 70 transplants a year here so the odds aren't great if you can't find your own compatible donor.

Our drivers licences have a section for people who wish to be 'donor' but it's not legally binding and many families of deceased veto their loved ones wishes.

I guess at least all treatment is free - indirectly, we pay tax to fund our health system so that lowers the stress levels for sick people. No massive bills.

Oh my god. That's... an ~11 year waiting period... Holy cow.

That's too bad, and rather odd that they can veto their deceased loved one's decisions. I can understand, but...

Look at you, being an optimist! (: That's definitely good. Sometimes people here underestimate the stress from medical issues/bills.

I'm sorry to hear all this. Then you come over here and are funny and stuff. I have even more respect for you! Shoot. I'm all weepy now. Feggit, Mick. You better take care of yourself.
