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!


If you don’t have the money on hand to pay what it would have cost out of pocket, then you’re better off dying.
If you don’t have the money at all, you’re probably in the clear.
