@Bast,

sounds like there is a huge difference between a good private hospital and a bad public one. I feel for you, I really do. I don't have private health insurance, so if I ever end up in hospital with mental illness, then I would be in the same boat as you.... I would be admitted into the public system.

Well, all I can say is that it's a good deterrent to keep myself as healthy as possible, so I don't end up in there. Easier said than done, I know. 

How are you doing now, @Bast?
