There will never be adequate words to describe the horror of your experience and the heartbreak of a system that could be easily set up different.

I'm from Australia. Last week my little sister went to the ER because she had suspected Giant cell arteritis and her vision started blurring.

Yes she had to wait 6 hours but that night they did every single test possible to diagnose her ailment - thankfully not GCA but migraine.

She left after 10hours having been loved on, locked after, and treated... and didn't have to lay a cent.

Its not perfect but it is possible.
