Health Paying for fta tv

[74561347]

First time staying overnight after surgery in years, since when did public hospitals charge for free to air TV? Turned on the TV and was told I had to pay $9.80. Paid it because I'm a moron, and I don't even get channel 7 so I can't watch the cricket, pretty much told too bad.

Public health is a joke.

Ps - morphine is f**king awesomesauce

As if the Health spend is not big enough, free TV, nope.

Probably for about as long as hospitals have been underfunded.

Often in those big cities, even if you have private health.

Not out here in the country but.

Can't go one night without the idiot box?

How long does $9.80 buy you?

Had a mate holed up in the Modbury (SA) hospital back in the 90's. Had to pay for TV then

It's been like that for a while. My dad had a triple bypass a few years back and he refused to pay for it the whole time he was in there.

Well it's not like I can play on the playground and I was watching the roof but that's gone downhill since season 4.

One day. I'm only in overnight

Wth- I was in the Royal Melb overnight once and they had a free TV in the room. About 8 years ago.

FWIW Michael Jackson's funeral was on. But I was kinda out of it and v unwell.

Of the two hospitals in Geelong, St John of God (private) gives you FTA TV access in your room for free, while University Hospital Geelong (if we go by it's real name, everyone still calls it Geelong Hospital) has a similar set up where you have to pay for FTA, at a similar fee too.

If you've got your phone and have enough data, you can watch 7-9-10 + their multichannels on their respective apps now anyway

That's weird. The last time I was in the RCH you did not have to pay for TV and you got games too (Breakout was cool).

RCH is a different beast

The cost of providing the service is right there in the name: free-to-air. Pretty bullshit to charge for something that doesn’t cost them anything. What next, $1 for tap water?

No wonder why my nanna was kicking and screaming about spending her final days in a hospital.
