My wife and I walked out of the hospital and took a stroll along the nearby south bank of the Thames. Except for a slight headache, I felt fine. And Richard Thompson was great, as always.

To summarize my NHS experience:

Total time spent in the hospital: 50 minutes.

Number of nurses and doctors who examined me: four.

Number of times I was asked my nationality: zero.

Number of times I was asked to show proof of health insurance: zero.

Number of times I was asked how I expected to pay the hospital bill: zero.

Hospital bill: zero pounds.

Value of Britain's National Health Service, a.k.a. socialized medicine, when you have a medical emergency: priceless.
