That's socialized medicine for you.
I lived through that shit in Germany until I left, and I was almost gonna die because of it once. Now where I live, most my appointments are next day or two, including instant x ray, ultra sound, while MRI and CT takes 3-5 days at most.
I know people who waited for months to get an MRI in Europe. X ray easily takes 2 weeks if not months unless it's an emergency.
I know gynecologist appointments for some people went for 6+ months.
I guess people made their choice. Enjoy the free medicine you always wanted. No hate. Just enjoyment. It's just fun to watch.
TIL my privatized American dental system was actually socialism.
That's bad socialized medicine. But sure, private medicine is objectively better than underfunded socialized medicine, if you belong to the minority of people who can afford it. Congrats!
I'm pretty sure they triage things. If you are actually going to die if you didn't see a doctor immediately I don't think they'd go no come back in 3 weeks.
That's capitalized medicine. When care must be profitable, that's what you get. Rarity makes profit. The socialised part in the example only means that everyone suffers the same, unlike with full liberalism where the poors can die for the rich to benefit from the service.
