Assuming that i still had insurance (which I lost when I lost my job which I lost due to a spinal injury) the wait time would be 6 months at the earliest.
Our wait times suck. The New England Journal of Medicine did a comparison of ER and some specialist times in the US and found that the ER waiting times are longer than any other industrialized nation and that many of the specialties were the same length or just a little shorter in the US.
We are 37th in health markers according to the WHO. And we spend more than twice as much per person as any other nation. We suck.
