Also on the bill at the end there was an extra £150 for an anaesthetist!
I don't know if all private do that, I don't know if that particular consultant only does them when your knocked out (If I'd waited 3-4 months I would have seen the same guy on the NHS)
Nor do I know if its a viable option as it wasn't cheap! but I needed it for my own peace of mind.
