Here in the US that patient would have declared bankruptcy before the plane landed.

My middle school teacher was bitten by a death adder in the early 2000’s in Australia while hiking. She said she broke her foot, and waited for hikers to show up, but the last thing she remembered was being bitten by and stared to fade. Two hikers found her, called for help, and she was helicopter to the emergency room.. and treated. She was more amazed that everything was covered by the government.

Fuck yeah RFDS is a fantastic charity and saved a lot of lives in very remote areas. Please donate to them if you can.
