How would wait times decrease under that system? Do you think that a hip replacement is just a simple in and out procedure? Other than the months of preparation for surgery, education, pharmacists, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, nursing care, rehabilitation, home care, potentially social work intervention, dieticians, and complications that arise... Things are not as simple as you are making them out to be. Actually it is quite laughable how simple you are making this out to be.
