Doctors will leave and wait times will grow.
Here is the US I go to ER clinics and I expect to be treated within 15 minutes no matter how minor my ailment...and I am rarely disappointed. 6-7 hours is the average wait time in many Canadian ERs.
Where is that ER.
I have only been in an ER a couple times but both times I waited both times I waited more than 2 hours.
Even at urgent care centers the wait is usually at least a half hour.
I am wondering where you live? Im in the profession, and usually it is the critically ill people get the prompt care. Emergency and urgent care facilities are very busy. Usually, the folks with mild illnesses have to wait.
