Which are these developed nations? Because to give my annecdotal perspective it isn't the case in Belgium or others that i know of (With minor exceptions like recently where orthodontists couldn't handle anyone but the most urgent due to covid measures and now have a backlog of patients.)
>and semiprivate rooms normally with no more than 2 people to a room, though 4 to a room has become more popular in some regions.
Every bedroom in every hospital i've been to has been double or single though i have no experience on that front in surrounding countries. Most are double with the single ones being for special cases or people willing to dish out or with great insurance.
- CerebralCerb 5y agoIt's accepted as normal in Norway to wait for up to two years for a specialist. If your need is urgent you'll get it much quicker though. If you are a white-collar worker you'll usually have a private health insurance so that you won't have to wait in line for public care.
