I think you've seriously confused the US and Europe.

> You fill out forms and make calls and get letters and all this bullshit.

No I don't? I log into my hospital health system, click a button to schedule a specialist, pick a time, and then submit.

"In 2023, the average waiting time was lowest in the U.S. and Switzerland (28 days), while it was highest in Spain (77 days) and France (63 days)." - https://www.statista.com/chart/33079/average-waiting-times-f...

> Meanwhile, I can just book stuff online instantly now that I live in europe.

That's how it works here too, lol. Are you comparing 1980s US vs 2020s Europe??? You know we have computers here in the US now...



Every single time I've went to a practice in the US, the first thing I had to do was fill out stacks of forms. I've never had to deal that here in the EU. Has that really changed in the past five years?


I’m in the US and it’s the same for me. Every single doctor I visit, it’s the same stack of papers with the same personal information and health history.


The vast majority of health systems use EHR systems. I mean, you can go to small clinics that don't share data with anyone, but that's on you.


Yes. Every doctor in my hospital group has access to my records. I don't fill out anything when I go.


It hasn't
