Wait times for elective surgery can stretch out, but my wife had an appointment to see about jaw pain last week and had the x ray before she left the health center. She got the results that afternoon.
Last year we thought we would have a six week wait for my granddaughter's tonsillectomy but because of a cancelation it was done about ten days after the consult.
I think a lot of the griping about the Canadian health care system is people repeating worst case stories.
But that is only our family 's experience.
