U.S. wait times aren't bad? When I tore my biceps, I was able to get x-rayed 1 hour after coming to the hospital, then got my surgery 4 days later.

Well the average is around 20-26 days. It can depend on the hospital and also the treatment. Sounds like you’re set up good, some people aren’t and you should advocate for them.

That's emergency care. No one is waiting 3+ months for someone to set their broken leg.

Meanwhile, I'm dealing with what is likely some variety of IBD by getting up 3 hours early for work so that I can completely empty my bowels before my shift starts and I'll have to keep doing that for 7 more weeks until I even get to see a GI doctor.
