It's not terrible though. I broke a bone 6 months ago. 2 hours in the ER including x-rays. Orthopaedic surgeon consult 4 days later, including more x-rays. All at no additional cost to me.
After pandemic Canadian health started to noticed how much they messed up during and the PR machine started an error correction course, so you probably got the benefit of that. I'm glad that you did, but it's not the same experience for everyone. It's good to be grateful but terrible to bring down others who don't receive the same thing as liars or ignorant.
Or if whoever is manning ER deems you unworthy of services. Happened to me personally. The problem is that they think they're providing free service so they provide a shitty one. What they're neglecting is that it's not free and everyone is forced to pay their salaries by unfair taxation.
