Even more adverts you despise

The impression from those adverts is that VHI\Laya etc. have their own fully kitted out hospitals.... They don't.... they have small private clinics which are more akin to a Doctors surgery for very specialised stuff like Scans and physio.... if there's anything seriously wrong with you, its off to the main hospital A&E with ya....where you Queue up like everybody else.

(I know some private hospitals have sort of A&E type setups, but from my own experience they are limited enough too, and of course only open during office hours).
