Yeah, MRI are the ones you wait for here.
Unless you're a pro athlete, or "know a guy" type thing. My buddy *** up his back, first appt is always going to be treated as "Sore back, eh pill chaser mcgee?" and never taken seriously. Made a 2nd appt, got a referral for MRI, the wait time is approx 4-6 forevers after you die. However, it messed with his baseball season. Baseball coach happened to be an ex Oiler who is now in sports medicine and was like "Here, call this guy. It'll be done after hours, but you'll get in." Within a week he was being scheduled for surgery for 3 herniated discs.

like no dumbass, if it was life threatening the Doctor would have submitted the referral as high priority and insurance would cover a more urgent appointment for you after the doctor explained the medical necessity. Not every random little *** thing is an emergency
Oh, no I fully understand that stupid people expect to be treated yesterday for minor things. Like I said, if they said the wait list is a few weeks, ok its a few weeks no big deal. But 12-15 months is a sign that something is broken in the system.

@Vyre-kun
Some (bad) users were really mean with me.
I was lying peaceafully in my bed when suddenly some stinking nerd started punching me for no reason.
That deserve some permabans, plus IP tracking and reporting to FBI.

Dr. Vanadiel better see me immediately. I've saved them from catastrophic ruin countless times. I've literally felled a god to save them. I then intercepted a war between two other gods and averted another crisis. I traveled through time to kill a dimension hopping genocidal maniac. I downed a literal world eater.
And I cant get seen immediately????

You need to pay the shirtless "doctor" 100k.
10k if you're poor, he's nice like that.

Got my bay fishing trip in today. Caught 3 redfish, one in slot, which is the limit anyway. As we were wrapping up I hooked a big hammerhead shark. Fought it for 30 mins until we got it up to the boat for the Captain to take pictures. It was at least 4 feet long, probably 300 pounds. I'd caught sharks before but never that far in shore.
Reserved a 10 hour offshore trip for Sunday, told the Captain I wanted some wahoo and he agreed to go way out there to find them. Only 2 grand which is less than I expected. In person negotiations are always so much smoother. Hopefully the shutdown continues so I can keep fishing.

Yeah my coworkers told me the emails they sent us were automatically deleted, and so was the webpage. Just shrug our shoulders and laugh, deleting a hyperlink doesn't change the law. Meanwhile we are all laying on the beach while the kids are in school.

Anyways
Heres my experience with wonderful free healthcare
Quote: Hi,
Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately we do not have any slots available at any of our locations for the requested ultrasound. Please advice if you want to be added to the waiting list. Currently the wait time is 12-15 months. X-rays are walk-in at all of our locations.
Thank You,
At least you get the privilege of being told to *** off for free. I pay $24k a year for an insurance plan that doesn’t do anything until we pay 14k per year in medical bills then only covers 70% until we hit 35k.
And we still get told to *** off, then billed for the privilege

Anyways, what good is free if the injury im trying to have diagnosed for treatment will likely get exponentially worse in the next 12-15 months? Am i supposed to just sit around like Hasans dog doing nothing during that time? As I understand Canadian health care you can have it free if you wait or pay if you want it sooner.
While it may suck, American health care is you pay an insurance company to tell you that your aren't covered, which sucks worse.
They both suck.
Here I can pay $5 to see a specialist immediately and get med without additional fee. Last time when I went to ER I waited for 10 min and paid $15 plus med.
Also, dentist cost something like $6 per visit.
Hybrid system is the best IMO. It's not "free", but as long as it's affordable I would rather trade small amount of money for efficiency. It's also not super expensive because tax money covered the cost.
What's the point with "free" healthcare if efficiency is so bad?
By Afania 2025-10-11 01:25:35
I asked AI which country has the best healthcare and AI said Japan. Which is also a hybrid system that isn't free but it's affordable and it has good balance between high quality and efficiency.
We should all learn from Japan!

The reason every other country has free health care and all the other social systems, is because the USA subsidizes it all. That's coming to an end, and all these systems are going to be impossible for these small economically pissant nations to continue in 5-10 years.
The health cost reduction thing Trump announced yesterday is a huge part of that, the USA allowed other countries to ride the coat tails of America and they carried them along for free.
The USA also protects every western nation militarily for free, which allows them to effectively spend next to nothing on defense and have clown car armies.
All these social systems in nations who exist under the umbrella of the United States empire are completely impossible to fund normally for these little nations, the US propped them up. Canada, UK, France, Japan etc all those social systems are going to come to an end there, cause those countries started to take the American daddy for granted and going against their wishes.
Added to that, allowing unlimited immigration to flood the health care systems will also speed it their collapse even faster. The NHS for instance is on the brink of collapse, bringing in tens of millions of people from the 3rd world, that can barely speak english and that quite litearlly interbreed with their cousins to cause all kinds of deformities the NHS pays for is laughably unsustainable
So lefties in the USA that keep going on about free health care in other nations and why can't American have that, you were paying for them to have it. It's was never sustainable off their own back, and it won't be around much longer*
*Unless these pissant nations start doing exactly what the USA wants them to do again, which they have not been doing for the past 50-60 years. That's a large part of why you are going to see heavy right wing governments take control everywhere now, that's the USA asserting dominance again.
A lot of Americans don't seem to get that the USA is a proper empire, no different than the Roman Empire or the British empire it took over from. It plays the role softly and has good PR, but it's still a dominating empire that controls most of the globe and has military bases everywhere. The nations that will continue to do well in the coming years, will be ones that kneels before the king and do exactly as they are told again. The amount of bargaining power Trump is bringing to bear on these nations is immense, and they are all petrified.
The EU as a rival empire it was created to be ain't gonna make it, and it will be split apart and phased out.

Not. The. Politics. Thread.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
