Thanks mate. It's good to fix the problems BEFORE you 'fall down' and get carted off for emergency surgery.
These sort of procedures are termed 'elective surgeries' here in AUS. Fully paid for in the public system, but subject to waiting lists based on need and theatre availability. In a private hospital with private health insurance (me), most ANY procedure can be done within a week with reasonable co-pays for surgeon and anesthetist fees. The hospital costs are fully covered. Two leg angioplasties, one stent placed, $2500 out of pocket. Two cardiac angiogram/3 stent placement, $600 out of pocket. The colonoscopy is at this public hospital $0 out of pocket...normally a public colonoscopy would be a 3-4 week wait based on need, but my rectal bleed allowed me to jump the queue...and the Drs are good and the nurses fantastic. The food is heaps better in the privates, but I'm not starving here.
Thanks to all for support, and do the right thing by yourself and families...don't put this schytte off! Cheers
