Re: We're Number......LAST
Congratulations, you are the exception more than the rule. The US is a big place, and quality of medical care varies drastically not only by location but also by doctor. However, you'll generally find that people in Germany wait much, much less long than the people in the US.
Wow. Really? Funny. Private health care here and I got my MRI for my knee in the same day I went to the doctor. I actually was in with the sports medicine surgeon the same day I saw my GP. It was a torn minuscus and I was able to get arthroscopic surgery the next week (decided to wait because I had final exams and could walk with crutches).
I know a ton of horror stories from the VA. Had a friend when I was in school who could barely get in for his PTSD stuff, let alone for the reoccurring medical problems from an IED he took in Iraq.
