it would not help a person with bilateral dissected renal arteries leading to a starvation of blood to the kidneys and causing heamoraging around the local area requiring a more complicated procedure one which your countries health system probably wont do because they would not be able to.

But I saw it fixed in a public hospital in Australia free of charge to the patient because it is normal for free universal healthcare. HA!
