What about when you wait equally long and then get to pay for it?

I don't like the American system. Never said I did. France, Germany and Sweden are a much better example of something Canada should look at.
But in terms of my problem with the system, in all my visits to the emergency room for stitches and various other 'minor' issues, I have never understood why I always had to wait for a 'doctor' to stitch me up. Why can't nurses be taught to do that?
I mean I get having the doctor check you for serious head trauma, but perhaps the nurses can get your bloody head cleaned up and give you some pain killers while you wait in a secondary waiting room for the doctor? The worst part is always sitting there in pain for hours on end.
