I spent half that time in Critical Care (much of that on a ventilator, a small amount sedated), and most of the rest in a specialist neuro-rehab unit. I would have died otherwise.

Fortunately it cost me nothing - Thank Bevan for the NHS - but if I were in the US I imagine I would be financially crippled!

    Or get insurance and then the bill is significantly smaller. The much smaller amount can be put on a payment plan if needed or even haggled down to something you can pay.
