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.
