Clash is right, I talking about private hospitals without emergency departments. All our public hospitals provide free care. Our private hospital are usually very specialised.

Most of the deaths occurred because ambulance awaiting time were too long. Ambulances were only responding to critical calls. It was one those rare times when it was better to driving to ER. Hospital emergency department had queues into their car park with security giving out ventolin...

What happened in Melbourne was not a normal asthma event. There were 6 times the normal number of calls for ambulances. I know personally two people who had there first asthma attack on Monday night. Up to half those who called triple zero were not dx with asthma or hadn't asthma attack since...
