can pay for a private MRI..but then who will interpret it for you? All neurosurgeons are working under the universal plan. So you have to wait for that too. They do distinguish between emergencies and not. A hip replacement or showing a few signs of parkinson's are not considered emergencies. You can wait for months in those cases.

At hospitals..when the emergency room is filled..a call will go out to all doctors in the hospital to go downstairs to emergency to help out..and those doctors with the training will stop their rounds, go downstairs and pick a patient or two to get through the backlog.

I've had no complaints.
