Stuff like that happens in the US daily. Waiting too long for an ambulance, waiting too long in the ER, these things happen.
People here in the States wait, what seems to be, 11 hours in the emergency room after getting a ride to the hospital.

Usually because their owie didn't need more than a band-aid, a juice box, and a kis from mom to make it all better.

It's called triage. If you run to the ER for what can be handled at an urgent care center you're not going to be at the front of the line.
And yet the life expectancy is much higher in England.

81.77 vs 79.11… “much higher”.
That would be the UKs number not England (which would be highest in the UK). Either way that's a substantial difference.
But thanks for following me around as per.
