True enough. I'm definitely not saying its worse than the US, it's just so badly understaffed at the moment that any "non emergency" surgery will likely be a year or more waiting.
Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful it exists at all, but there's a reason doctors have just announced the longest strike in NHS history unfortunately. My wife is a doctor and frequently treats dying patients in the corridor, it's just a mess and a lot of people seem to think it's being deliberately underfunded to eventually make privatisation the only option.
That's one downside of public infrastructure. The government can only allocate a certain budget. There's a similar situation where I live but it's about a school.
as a fat stupid american, thank you for explaining the joke, mate
No worries you adorably chubby simpleton you :) x
Now if you excuse me, I have to get back to not visiting the dentist and having a more advanced sense of humour than you.

Just barely these days unfortunately...
At least it doesn't cost 1000 for a ride in the WooWoo van
