Hucky - whenever I try to ring to ask any question of a specialist about anything I get knocked back by their receptionists who say I have to make an appointment to speak to them ... maybe I'm doing it wrong.
I was told its politics and also told that they aren't allowed to do them by one of the nurses but I'm thinking that might be incorrect - they can do them if you pay. But it does look like its just politics.
And yes I agree about what you're saying re going overseas if the cost is basically going to be the same.

surfing injury 2004 - transient paralysis from neck down for 15 seconds, resolved fully - herniated c5/c6 disc plus some bulging at c3/4/5. Initially had dermatome pain after injury which resolved - general parasthesia in arms/legs was fairly mild after injury but has been worsening.
