But that's the System-Plus.  When I taught at London I didn't even need to pay 
extra; UCL hospital would usher me to the front of A and E (ER) queues, the 
Royal London saw me within 2 days of my 'phoning, and so on.  And at York, when 
I missed an appointment with a very arrogant surgeon and wrote to apologise 
using the university letter-head, his secretary rang me and apologised to me 
for the "misunderstanding" re dates.

But let's not suggest that's the system for everybody, or that it's fair.
