Ever been side-lined by a BJJ Knee injury? Joey pulls back the curtain on finding the right healthcare guru for your injury and the unexpected journey of rehab—one that's filled with as much laughter as there is pain. Navigating Australia's healthcare system sometimes feels like a sport in itself, and not the fun kind. The second half of the conversation goes into the complexities surrounding MRI scans, Medicare, and the sometimes laughable experiences at bulk billing clinics. Whether you're a seasoned veteran in the game of medical imaging or just learning the ropes, these anecdotes offer a play-by-play that's equal parts informative and entertaining.
