As an American I’m curious what it’s like if you need to go to the doctor and how much you pay from say a broken arm to general checkup. Also list what country please

    How could I forget those absolute legends?

    I did some research and turns out the RFDS has 23 bases and a fleet of 79 planes, with a much smaller fleet of helicopters for rugged terrain and short, urgent trips.

    It mainly relies on a combination of donations and government funding, and is of course a non profit. It also tends towards mainly outback service, rather than equivalent organisations in other nations, which tend to focus on a mix of urban and rural service.

    Anyway, I’ll probably spend the next few hours obsessively looking up everything about the RFDS, and solidify that my sleep schedule is actually so shattered, but damn it’s an interesting organisation.
