Reply to comment by [deleted] in LPT: If you have a bump, lump, or weird spot... Get it checked now. If it does turn out to be something, you may not get treatment for longer than you expect due to backlogs (at least in Canada). by chemical09

How does it work with things like infections, infestations, etc? Like you have cellulitis or scabies, where you might be okay right now but it can kill you or spread to others if not treated quickly?

You go to the ER and are triaged. Usually around an 8 hour wait... and most of the time they send you home with the wrong diagnosis so you go back the next day to wait again. If it's highly contagious I assume they put you in another room. It's a terrible system and I guarantee so many people are dying because of it.

It was asked 3 hours ago... relax. Answer is above. I never claimed it to be a good system.
