Yep. I had a buddy dive head first into a rocky river. Came up doing the funky chicken. We took him to emergency and they x-rayed him and closed the gash in his noggin' with 14 staples. Told us he was perfectly fine and ready to leave. We laughed and got another doctor to x ray him. Now I am now x ray technician and have no medical experience or training....but I could clearly see in the x ray that his top vertebrae was utterly smashed into three separate pieces. How a trained tech could miss that is beyond me. The only time I have ever had positive interactions with competent doctors is with South Africans. Guys who have seen some shit and have real hands on experience, they didn't get their degree from a box of Cracker Jacks.
So... guess free healthcare isnt that nice heh?
Actually, in many third world countries if you have money to spend you can get good, prompt medical care
