The U.K. health care system is so much obviously better than ours
Case in point: a scottish carpenter had to wait for 22 hours to get a nail removed from his hand:
With the nail embedded in the middle finger of his left hand Mr Milne, 54, went to the hospital’s A&E department, arriving at about 2.30pm and was seen by a doctor at 3.40pm.
He said he was then sent to Ward 39 at around 5.30pm, examined and X-rayed.
He said he was then told that he would need to be operated on by a plastic surgeon who would not be able to do it until later that night.

After spending the night in a hospital bed, he said he was seen by a consultant who told him that there would be a further delay until lunchtime. At 12.30pm, he was told that it would be a further few hours.
