[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it really good anywhere? Last week there were big complaints in the UK about the NHS computer system that led to unfavorable health outcomes and deaths. My friend couldn't find a PCP in Toronto for months. Other countries are losing doctors to higher paying countries and don't produce enough specialists. People wait years for joint surgery, or months for oncology appointments. How much of this is because medical science can do more so demand is higher for an increased number of treatments.[/quote] I don’t buy about medical science doing more because life expectancy is not impressive in the USA. If I have to guess Scandinavian countries might be doing better.[/quote] Of course they’re doing more. In 1986, there were 9,000 kidney transplants in the US. In 2022, there were over 22,000.[/quote]
