Shortly after we arrived, she had to go to the local emergency room. There was no waiting and no questions. The doctor who treated her was not rushed and spent plenty of time with her. At the end, we explained that we were US citizens, no problem - no charge. We ended up living and working in the UK and Ireland for almost 14 years and used the National Health Service many times. In 1986 we started a circus with Phillip and Carol Gandey. All of our employees had full medical, as did we. They were paid well, and we made a profit.
