First off. I am thankfull that I have access to proper medical care. It is my impression that people in other countries do not have such good medical care as we do.
Yes, we can rant and rave about the how long it takes, about some of the mistakes that have happened but if we have an emergency it will be taken care of.
If my family needs to see a doctor now we have two options. Book an appointment with our family doctor or go to a local clinic.
On occasion we wait at the family doctor for 20 minutes or so because he has fallen behind schedule. But I don't mind because he doesn't rush us.
The local drop in clinic usually has a 3-4 hour wait. But you get an estimate of how long and come back.
Seems like a minor inconvenience to me.
