Yes, maybe the letter could have been worded a little better, but, lets be fair, the medical proffession in Australia is taking us all for a ride, and a worse one that what REX provide. REX is a business, pure and simple and a very safe one I might add.
I will now standy for all the flak, but before you reply...have a think!
Try attending a specialist in the US before shooting off about Dr's over here. $160 is affordable for ANY Australian on ANY income to see to top line medical health. Specialists in this country do not need to fly out to bush for money they do because that is what they are about, many I flew around did it because they felt they were doing something useful for society. Given the amount it work and level of expertise and what is at stake $160 is a bargin.
If you want to bitch about the Medical system in this country I suggest you get onto the lack of University places available to for people wanting to study medicine and how the AMA is also a union and a regulator, not the cost of seeing a Doctor or waiting lists.
Have a holiday to Africa or Asian before launching into Australia's medical system.
