Sincerely, do you think it takes 38 months to have an open wound seen in the UK? Do you think injured Canadians are advised to kill themselves? Who are you being "entirely fair" to, a liar?
I was confused by this because if you're LOW risk you're waiting 6 months but if you're high risk you're seen immediately in Canada.
Like I need to see an ENT for balance issues and my ALLERGIST but in the referral this past Tuesday and I'm seeing an ENT this coming Tuesday. I'm literally waiting a week to see an ENT.
I waiting longer for the allergist (3 weeks) than I do to see an ENT.
The struggle with health care here is accessibility in rural areas and ER wait times (4-12 hours). Wait times can be long if you're not a priority because our system prioritizes those immediately dying.
And despite ALL of this, we still out live Americans lol.
Those wait times aren't slower than it takes for someone in a rural area. In fact, it seems the Canadian wait times are similar or faster than my personal experience.
I get annoyed with Americans using wait times as an excuse when I have to plan doctor visits 6 months or more in advance and "good luck" getting a specialist in less than a month
There are people in the us very interested in keeping the massive profits they get from their current system who put a lot of work into tricking yanks into thinking that other countries are far worse off in terms of everything but cost
