But if you need anything other than very minor surgery odds are you're still getting it done in a public hospital.

    Me either! 🤣 But I've been witness to a few sports club/workplace injuries that have private insurance involved. You get to recover in a nicer room, but the procedures seem to always be in the same public hospital us peasants use.

    Yeah. You get to jump the queue for elective / non-critical stuff. And even if the surgery is in the private system it's usually the same doctor. I had a pretty serious surgery done, and it was in private hospital, but the same doctor does 2 days private and 2 days public every week.
