People who complain about 12 hour wait times in Canada are there for minor things on the triage list, anything life threatening is handled immediately and without hesitation. They always have rooms available for those who need it, the problem is people expect everything to be handled immediately - even when it's not serious.
I've spent way too many months in the hospital, ICU's, and being rushed to hospital bleeding out or near death, and everytime they saved my life very quickly. Not a broken system at all, I left there with zero bills.
Most people don't have a family doctor, so hospitals are unfortunately the only option. Walk-ins are hit or miss. The last walk-in I went to required appointments and they were fully booked up for weeks.
My family doctor was pressured into taking a much higher patient load to help alleviate shortages and I can see the effect it's had on him. Where before I got excellent personalized care now he's trying to refer me to specialists to offload the burden. I still only wait a week max to see him, and in emergencies I can get a same day appointment but I can see the toll it's taking on him and it worries me about his long term health.
