Other than the pain of course. And the sick feeling. But yeah, waiting just kills you. Not knowing. Is it like that in Denmark? I mean, people have been left on trolleys for up to 48 hours before getting a bed, and people in the waiting room outside A&E have often been sent home because it's too busy. Come back tomorrow. In agony? Sorry. Can't help you today.  |
Danish hospitals have been under budget pressure the last few years with somewhat overworked staff. But the standard is still pretty high compared to many countries as far as I know. I'd imagine you'd at least get a temporary bed or something soon enough if you're actually sick.
But I don't actually know how your scenario would have played out if you had lived where I do.
