    Is anyone here from Perth? If so, what surgery did you go to? I go to the Fremantle Hospital surgery and they are a bunch of clowns in there.

    I need to find a better surgery :mad:

    Hi

    I was just wondering whether your surgery was covered under medicare and where you went to get it done. I have heard a few people talking about a Dr Rickard in Concord but am not sure whether itsworth making the trip.
    How long were you in hospital?

    Hi. Yep its covered by medicare, although it can be a long wait depending if they decide its not urgent. My latest operation was done in Newcastle under medicare.
