I agree Daisydot. To go private for me means going without something else, in this instance we cancelled a mini break and lost our deposit just in case this nhs appt doesn't work out for me. Going private isn't snobby, it's being desperate for treatment that is working for me. But, and I've always said this, if I won the lottery I'd be going private every time.
