Or how about waiting six months for emergency surgery only to die after two?

Yep, I have Trigeminal Neuralgia. It is extremely painful crainal nerve disorder. I was able to get an appt with a neurosurgeon within 6 days. I was reading a Trigeminal Neuralgia patient support forum and there was a women in the UK that said her appt with a neurosurgeon is 18 months away!

I read some minutes of a British gov’t meeting on their healthcare. One Parliament guy was complaining that to get a hearing TEST done in his outlying district was a 10 month wait. He thought that the same standard of care should be available for the whole country, and that it was too long of a wait. And that it should be what the wait time in London is - 3 weeks! For a lousy frikkin hearing TEST!
