I watched a show about dental surgery in the UK.

People have to wait over 6 months if they go the NHS route.

They might consider moving to Haiti; if you hit it just right there might be a surgeon on a mission trip.

I know a vet who has been waiting for back surgery for 3-4 months and still has another month.

And now you understand the VA. I had a temp of 104.7 due to a couple of infected abscesses. Was given a bottle of Ibuprofen from the ER resident in training and told to come back on Monday. The dude could not understand English.
