unbelievable, but each person in sydney visits the doctor, on average 16 times a year.
for all of nsw, there are 120 million doctor visits a year - and growing at a rate 4 times greater than population growth.
from google it seems that the population of nsw is about 7.5m - with 63% living in sydney....mmm a quick calculation shows that all of nsw visit the doctor, on average 16 times each.
seriously, but people cannot be that sick.
watso only rarely sees a doctor, and the last time he went, they had to go through the archives (back room) to find his inactive folder. there will be heaps of people like watso who only rarely see a doctor - which means a lot of people are seeing the doctor heaps more than 16 times a year.
leading a healthy lifestyle, watso does not carry any medical insurance - because the healthy people subsidize the eternally sick people
