    As an option to repayment we'd like you to spy on your fellow citizens for Homeland Security, oh and you will have to have this RFID chip implanted so we can find you and you will have to leave one of your testicles with the NSA for the duration of the rest of your life. If you don't agree we will get the CIA to hunt you down and Jason Bourne you and anyone in your company just to be safe.

    We could all sit outside on banana lounges discussing the best way to rebuild a 4WD transmission and agree, through shared stories of conquests supporting our assertions, that there is no basis to the proposition that those least assured of their persuasions are the first to condemn others for theirs.

    Your talking about an emergency evac online and you haven't even seen a Dr yet? If you have no insurance then you must have enough cash for an emergency? Right?

    If you need to get home to see a Dr then book a business class seat and buy a wheel chair.

    Yesterday a good friend of mine got hit by a car while riding his bike. He was in PNG. He got medivaced to Brisbane last night as he has 6 spinal fractures and two collapsed lungs. He had insurance.

    That's the tricky part alright.

    I have been to see a few doctors, and it looks like I have a protruding disc, which is impinging on the sciatic nerve. The Oz embassy was polite and sympathetic, but could not offer an evacuation, saying it was up to me to have insurance. I am booked on a flight back to Sydney in 2 weeks time. Without health insurance, I did not have the money for the suggested treatment here. Walking is still a big problem, so I will be requesting wheelchairs at the airports. Thank you all for your replies, and to Russell, my last LFT was normal,thank you.

    Big Bill,

    You have my genuine sympathy. Things like your situation haunt me. I know nothing that can help but Umbuku certainly did some leg work and it's sobering reading. For what it's worth, best of luck, guy.

    Russ, stop it please.

    Hi Guys, I am back from Sydney now, better than when I left CM, but far from 100%.
    I got the wheelchair service (free) a CNX BKK and SYD there and back, which was fantastic. I got priority at passport control, security/customs, and was wheeled first on the planes. I did have a protruding disc, but it was not the cause of my problem. I have an auto-immune disease which is attacking my nerves, either damaging them or destroying them. I got 6 doses of immunoglobulin which helped enormously, but my left leg is still weak, and I need a walking stick to get around, and stairs are still a challenge.
    My doctor wanted me to keep getting the same treatment and physiotherapy for a couple of years, but I wanted to be back with my wife and daughter, and get some treatment here.
