Granted, but at least you can still rock up to the ER with your foot hanging off, and get seen without your bank balance being relevant.
Sort of. If you're not actively dying you can still expect to wait several hours with some panadol.
Idk when you last had to go to ER but when I had a broken toe that needed setting they didn't even have ice packs. The swelling from waiting about 6 hours made setting it a doozy, it's crooked and achy now :(
Shit is underfunded to all hell atm.
That sucks, sorry to hear it.
I'm used to waiting many hours in my/family's experience with the places, though the time I dislocated my ankle and was compromising blood flow to my foot, they got on it immediately. Time-sensitive vs high-impact, I guess.
