Our private hospitals aren't much better, if your emergency isn't of the bleeding to death vriety. At least, I had to wait for 4 hours before they could even have a nurse look at me when I had to go for what I was scared might have been appendicitus.
Turns out it was just a kidney stone, and I could have not gone, bought some street-variety painkillers and saved myself about $5,000 USD.
