  • Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking the US has much faster ERs or appointments.

    I drove someone to the ER last year with a massively swollen neck and was burning up. We didn’t see a doctor for at least four hours.

    We finally saw someone and they were like oh dear let’s see if there’s a room available.

    They found a room and did the MRI but the specific surgeon who could do the operation wasn’t available. They wanted to send my buddy on a goddamn ambulance to a hospital two hours away. He was so upset because all he could think about was how much the MRI was and how much the ambulance was going to cost. I tried to get him to let me drive him there but he just wouldn’t let me.

    Every single business is purposely running a goddamn skeleton crew from a Walgreens to a hospital
