    I had a cycling accident, bike tipped over at 40km/h (25mph) and abraded my skin away on one hand in a 2cm (1 inch) circle

    I got an appointment at my local doctor at zero cost, but it was almost a week later. Doctor confirmed it was healing well.

    It’s cheap here in Australia, but there can be a wait when it’s not urgent

    Though once in hospital for suspected heart problem (it was actually just panic attacks) someone was in for spider bites. Redbacks (practically the same spider as the black widow) had nested in the space between his bed head and the wall, and he had been bitten several times was trying to retrieve something that had fallen behind the bed. He was not having a good day
