8. An example of something that just happened to my neighbor

Jul 2012

He had back problems but worked cleaning stairs once or twice a week.
The pain got so bad we had to call an ambulance, two medics came, then a doctor and an apprentice doctor, then two more medics. He went to the hospital emergency room. Transferred to another hospital by an emergency Van cross town. Stayed 3 weeks, now he has someone that shops for him and cleans his apartment once a week. Operation in two months with the best surgeon in the nordic countries.

Total cost....... Zero.
