My sister has a friend who lives in Scotland who lost his mother to cancer
because she has to wait so long to be seen for it.

Even for me, I often have to wait three to four months to be seen for a
doctor's appointment using my veteran's benefits.  The VA is trying to get
better about it but it's still pretty bad.  However, I have learned to be
squeaky wheel and know how to work the system meaning if I bitch loud enough,
I will get seen much sooner.
