oh yeah.. you mean the kid that the american docs said we can definitly help... then came over and said, no we would never have been able to help
I think it was somewhere else
So wait times are an issue?
But England was like “fuck dat shit RULE BRITTANIA OUR HEALTHCARE IS THE BEST! LET THE CHILD DIE TO PROVE A POINT!”
on average the wait times in the UK are 30% less than the US
the child was already brain dead
US is a larger area and hospitals are pretty far from each other
what does that have to do with wait times?
Yeah, I haven't really heard any complaints from people in the UK.
Ehh
wait times means your already at the hospital... in a waiting room
I hate the waits
It’s like there aren’t enough doctors per hospital
^^^^^^^^
It was Italian doctors who said they would help, the government said no, which shouldn't be their choice to make
It's that simple
In the UK, healthcare is still heavily mismanaged. I don't know the US system though
Not sure
I was once called in for blood test results and waited 45 minutes to be told "There's nothing wrong" and sent out, they surely could have just texted/emailed
popped into the docs not long ago... just to say i was going on holiday.. they gave me like.. 6 vaccines.. 😛 then went home.. no wait time... no appointment
Sometimes
I got blood tests years ago w/o results
>works on my machine: healthcare edition
It was a diabetes check tho
UK system is very up and down, sometimes I'll go in and the doctor will be very helpful, other times I get told BS
6 vaccines are nothing
Like once I went in for a tonsillitis appointment and was told I'd need to make a separate appointment just to ask questions about contraception
I got shots with things I was allergic too 16 times in each arm
I was on about this the other day
We have long waiting lists too, there was a news story I saw a few months back where people were waiting upwards of a year or two to get diagnosed with autism
I could probably diagnose it
Hospital wait times has nothing to do with waiting in a hospital. It is a capacity issue. It is how long a patient has to wait for non emergency service, e.g. a hip replacement, if I recall the UK is a month behind the EU avg.
Yeah I think that’s it
No necessity and nothing happens
kinda funny really... the only people who aren't covered under the US healthcare are the tax payers who pay for it 😛
$1tn per year
But we still have to pay shitloads if there’s no health insurance
i think our NHS budget has gone up quite a lot since this (even though the libs keep saying our budget is cut... it is definitely NOT) ... https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/staging.informa.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/17035618/davis_mirror_2014_es1_for_web.jpg
