This is the system that America should be modeled after?! *chuckle* http://icstirlingshire.icnetwork.co...ine=patient-must-wait-83-weeks-name_page.html An Edinburgh woman has been told she must wait 83 weeks for a routine hospital appointment, MSPs have heard. Health minister Andy Kerr said he shared the frustration voiced by Liberal Democrat MSP Mike Pringle, who highlighted the patient's case. But he said improvements were under way in a bid to tackle ear, nose and throat waiting times in the capital. ...Hip Hip...*waits*
This is not good, but a Socialized medical program is good for every citizen. If the wait is too long, you can still pay to go see a specialist sooner. Canada's works quite well. DD
Actually, there are numerous cases everyday where the wait for even a paid appointment is more than 2 months EVEN in cases of emergency.
So if you have a gun shot wound or an apendix ready to burst, they make you wait 2 months? Show me that info, I'm curious to read more true life horror stories.
