This is not true either. In Canada, Hospital beds do map to capacity. The UK, US and Canada have roughly the same ballpark 'beds' and also 'physicians' per cap

This is not true either. In Canada, Hospital beds do map to capacity.
The UK, US and Canada have roughly the same ballpark 'beds' and also 'physicians' per capita.
In the last 25 years they have taken the policy of 'getting you out', which is rational.
After an operation, if you don't have obvious signs of problems, you go home.
In Japan, where they have 4x the number of beds, you linger in the Hospital.
Maybe a better figure to look at would be the speed of treatment etc.
- Mikeb85 5y agoUK and Japan are among the lowest physicians per capita in the OECD. UK still higher than Canada though. https://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j2940 https://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j2940 Anyhow Canada is pretty low on the list, nearly every EU country is higher, as is the UK and US.
