Sure, you wait less time per visit but you spend far more time overall on medical nonsense for worse outcomes. What is the point?

- victorbjorklund 1y agoIn Sweden we can wait 6 months for a doctors visit. My impression is americans expect same day visit.
- const_cast 1y agoOkay, but you understand this isn't actually beneficial, right? Because American spend more, but Sweden has significantly better healthcare outcomes. So the American system is just worse, period. Also: on the topic of same-day visits because I think there's some confusion here. American can, maybe, get same-day visits if and only if they have a PCP, which is increasingly rare. Your PCP cannot do jack fucking shit. At best, they can swab your throat. Every type of condition management outside of Strep MUST go to a specialist. Your tummy been hurting a lot? That's a job for a gastroenterologist, not your PCP. For specialists, it's not uncommon to wait many months or even a year. Especially because most insurance plans require a referral - so you have to see two doctors.
