If you want a good comparison, I spent 8 hours in the ER with a broken toe in Canada before a doctor came up, numbed it and straighted it out against a pen (5 minutes?)...
That being said, you need to find out which hospital in your city is the best to go to. It's not nessesarily the nicest, newest one...often times its some old communist looking military hospital (szpital wojskowy). That, or if you call an ambulance they accept you in the ER immediately. It also helps to have some friends at the hospitals...now that we've lived here for some time (my girl is an ortodontist) alot of our friends are doctors (ginocologists, neurologists, etc) that work at hospitals. It's enough to phone one of them that we're coming, and they'll phone a friend of thiers that's on duty.

I get that part about priorities.
But I did NOT expect there is a HUGE shortage of doctors in Poland...
You go to ER in Ukraine, add extra bucks and you get stitched in a minute,
I have NEVER seen lines that long in the ER EVER before....
Also, it's all messed up, people walking in, half dead bodies, bleeding people,
like a fucking battlefield... in Ukraine its separated! You can walk, you're not fucked
you sit and wait, but injured and people in bad condition get to the hospital via
different entrance directly to the surgical room...
And I get your input about doctor friends, Konrad, but hey, I'm building it from scratch here
while many things take ages to get fixed properly...
