Assuming you are not an EU citizen, you are don't get free healthcare in the UK anyway. They probably told you to go to the private doctor because if you are non-EU you would have health insurance which would cover this no?
- gambiting 8y agoThat's not how this works. If you are from outside of EU you are not limited to private doctors and hospitals - you can still go and be seen by any NHS doctor, but you have to disclose the fact that you are not covered by national insurance - they will simply ask you for personal details and send you the bill few weeks later(well, if it's worth if - if you're only seeing a doctor about a cold or a broken wrist they will not even bill you anything because it's not worth the time spent filling out documentation, and pretty much no hospital even has a billing department).
