He's flip flopping all over the place

It’s not that simple. I always believed I’d choose NHS over private, mostly because for serious issues the care and facilities are better but also because I believe in the institution.
Would have sworn blind to anyone that would be my choice. I wasn’t lying. That’s what I believed.
Then, my husband was in a coma in an hospital bed for 12 days, and no number of ologists had any idea why. Every organ was failing and the head of intensive care held my hands and teared up as he told me they estimated a less than 5% chance of recovery.
At that moment, I’d have paid anyone who offered hope everything we owned. And probably have murdered every other person in ICU so that he was treated first. Hell, I’d probably have sold my grandmother to satan.
He survived. Has an incredibly rare genetic disorder that sometimes flares up just once in a lifetime (he was in his late 50s). The majority of people with it die at the first episode. Or it could happen again tomorrow.
Ironically, now we know what it is I’d far, far prefer NHS treatment at the specialist unit in Newcastle.
