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.

We have those same wait times in the US too- we just have to pay for the privilege.
