Honestly, in my state (Australia), the hospital system is crumbling because people are going to hospital for minor shit that could easily be treated at their GP. The amount of ambulance ramping at the ED is crazy. People are waiting 6-7 hours after being taken by ambulance to hospital. People often die because they are being ramped. A stroke victim died recently here because they had to wait like 5 hours, and the stroke killed them.
