I hurt my knee in a fall at work last week - I thought it would be okay so haven't gone to A&E since, it's still not great and am thinking of going to a private A&E to save time (I don't have health insurance). Do they charge extra for x-rays or is that included in the visit charge?
My main query is, if I'm referred to a physio or surgeon from there will I be 'stuck' in the private system which I couldn't really afford? or
Can they refer me to the public system? or
Should I just go to a public hospital's A&E and wait the extra time (feel bit bad about that as it's not really an emergency - probably just strained ligaments)?
Mods please move if in wrong forum.
