Yeah, over here people would think you were sleeping with the doctor or something to get seen to that quickly!  indeed. |
the downside to free healthcare is wait times, as most people take preventative action rather than waiting for the worst case. it can be frustrating, and i've had relatives who have had to wait a few years for urgent operations. at the end of the day i think it's still more than fair though, and i'm really grateful to live in a country that has a system like this in place.
