Anymore, the wait times in the US are just as atrocious while still costing orders of magnitude more. There's some specialties we've needed where the doctor just told us "you can get on the list, but don't hold your breath".
My boss told me today she had to wait 12 hours in the ER in the US the other day.
I left the ER after 8 hours of holding my finger together. Big gash real deep, ended up going to Walmart and buying super glue, butterfly bandages, and a stint. Was with my dad (I was 16) and he still touted this is best country on earth.
God that sucks. That being said, super glue for the win! I remember my dad using super glue on problematic wounds from being a kid, I guess if he didn't I probably would have ended up in the same situation. I should probably get some super glue for my household.
