public health system is good if its an emergency and if you don't fit into the "elective surgery" category. I have just had my ACL replaced and also decided to get a broken sesamoid removed from my foot too, Waiting list was 2-3 years for my surgery on the public system but 3 weeks on the private system, has cost me thousands but i need to be able to use my knee for work so was in a catch-22
