I see the thread about medical bills yesterday really triggered the /pol/ leaf brigade.
Reminder to sage and report.

>fever, coughing up blood
Don't you have an emergency service? That sounds like an emergency to me.

Dude, your still alive aren't you? The process is working because the people who actually needed help were ahead of you. Judging by your whining you are obviously not in a situation where you needed emergency care.

Stop wasting our fucking resources and go to a walk in clinic you retard.

Coughing blood is not a serious condition. It's pretty common when you have a fucking throat infection. It's when you have accompanying symptoms like headaches, vomiting, diarrhea, and 40degree temperatures. You are graded on the number of symptoms and severity. Yours was obviously minor enough to not need immediate care so you got bumped down.

If you don't want to wait in line say you have vomiting and diarrhea and an intense headache. Boom you get seen in 5 mins.

If only it were that linear. We have the same problem here, people get a coloured bracelet when they enter a hospital, depending on the severity of their condition. But oftentimes whoever is handing out the bracelets is shit at diagnosis and boom. Dead people in line.
Public healthcare services can be scary dude, don't blindly trust the system. Or it WILL fail you.

As usual, the /pol/zilian shows up to defend a fellow /pol/tard. Though, it is somewhat odd that he didn't write up a furious rant where he blames communism for everything wrong in the world.

>yours
check flag, i'm not OP
And if his condition wasn't serious, they should have sent him to a clinic, not talking and giggling with others employees while making him wait.

It is that linear, the SOPs are written that way. If there is deviation from it then someone fucked up. there are rare instances where someone's health takes a immediate and unpredictable downturn, in those situations nothing can be done. The system was designed to mitigate but it cannot eliminate such instances.

How do we fix Canadian healthcare bros?

>>79156881
>someone fucked up
That is exactly the problem. The system is human dependent and humans are prone to make making mistakes. Which is why you have to watch out for yourself.
Also, whatever procedures are in place, they can always be improved.

theres no small local hospitals in canada?

What the fuck do you not have a dedicated Emergency area?

Here they'll almost immediately get you straight with a doctor if you're fucked up enough to not be able to walk.

>>79157376
Same.

In the Netherlands every person has his own family doctor, who you normally need to talk to if you want to get anything done. Outside of office hours you can go to the family doctor emergency post.
If you have a critical problem you can go directly to the hospitals emergency department.

You can also see online in which hospitals doctors are busy and where they aren't for which procedure.

>>79157578
Yeah even here they assign you a doctor and if it's just a small illness you can make an appointment beforehand for the next day.

don't you have private hospitals/clinics in canada? i just go there if i have any problem that i dont need to call an ambulance for, and it's done pretty quickly with no (((rationing))) like in the national health system hospitals

>>79156453
You wait that long because little shit's like you clog up emergency rooms because you suffer from a cold.

>>79156419
You have a cold and you go the emergency.
they should have made you wait even longer
