The whole medicine industry in North America needs an overhaul. Canada isn't better. The ER delays aren't because of anything but a (intentional?) convoluted process that causes them. Same with prescriptions. Why aren't pharmacists allowed to issue them? Why not even utilize AI (which is superior to any human when it comes to memorizing and correlating, both essential in diagnosis) and have a human to double check it just in case? The reason is obvious. It's lobbying and gatekeeping, from making it hard to become a doctor, to the pharmaceutical industry profits, insurance, among many others, to simply "monetize" every single step of the process and profit off people's misery.
