That's Canada now... Has been for a while.... I hurt myself 9 months ago. It took 5 months for an MRI, and I'm still waiting for the specialist. I'm partially paralyzed...

Sorry to hear that, I hope you get treatment soon. Isn't it amazing how the world thinks our medical system is so great? There have been multiple deaths at the hospital near me of people waiting to see a doctor in emergency... not to mention people I know who would still be here today if the doctors in that same hospital were halfway competent, but since they can't be sued for malpractice, nothing happens...

USians call your system great because we have the same experience and outcome you just described, but we pay thousands of dollars per month per person for it. From that perspective paying way less money for shit care is an objectively better system.

Not true. Last time I needed a scan, I got it in about a week.

Thanks. The worst thing about Canada is that we're right next to the us. If France was our neighbor, everyone would be upset, but because we're in a horrible neighborhood, everyone just says 'better than them'
