So you retire to some rural community where there's no services, and the local hospital has either closed or has terrible service because all the competent nurses and doctors have left, right when you're getting old and need a lot more healthcare services.
- jen729w 3y agoCan 100% confirm this, still in Australia. I was at a drop-in health centre the other week. There was an old guy - 80s - who had come in from country NSW to have his wounded leg looked at. While we were waiting he told me that there were no doctors in his local hospital. None. His son lives in Canberra and he'd told him to drive in to be able to see someone.
