As the NHS has been mentioned, I should mention that as general rule (I'm sure that exceptions and horror stories can be found if someone were to look hard enough - the same is, of course, true of any and all healthcare systems) long waits only occur for routine procedures, minor operations and so on. When patients are seriously ill things can happen very quickly - when I was in hospital earlier this year an emergency CT scan was booked and done within a few hours of the consultant deciding that I needed one.
