You're exaggerating. I've gone to or with multiple emerg visits in Quebec, none even the most critical issues, and have rarely had to wait for more than a few hours, including diagnosis and treatment. If you go to the wrong hospital at the wrong time, it can be worse, but not to the level you indicate, and sometimes it's faster. There are sometimes long very wait times for non critical scheduled tests, which is a problem. The real problem is people with chronic conditions who will have to dedicate much more of their life to their health, which is dangerously demoralizing and a career killer, but I am not sure that's much different in other parts of the world.
