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

It's heavily mismanaged and this is admitted by some of its biggest political proponents

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
