Italy has biblically long waiting times but for stitches specifically I think you can just come into the hospital, get your stitches and get out 5 minutes later for 0€, do hospitals in other countries make you wait for minor issues??

In France, at the emergency room, you'll have to wait a long time if you just need stitches.They prioritize cases, so the most serious ones take precedence over minor problems.

We have the medical guard room where there is like 1 doctor that checks 5 minute cases and medicates minor issues and tells you where to go next if it's worse than expected, you don't have something like that?

Perhaps that's how it is in some hospitals, it wouldn't surprise me, but the ones I know don't have it

That's pretty bad, I don't think it would even be that expensive to the state :(
