I love how many people try to say that the wait times in Canada and other first world nations with universal healthcare are "unbearable". One of my aunts started getting severe headaches, then about a week later she started to see nothing but blackness for a few minutes at a time. Her doctor was somewhat concerned and wanted her to get a CT scan. It took them six weeks to see her! Six damn weeks to get a CT scan. She had blue cross/blue shield at the time… not sure if she had different insurance would there have been any difference in wait time.
On a note, they never found out what was wrong with her. She still has the 'blackouts' occasionally but the scans didn't reveal anything in her head.
