That first graph is interesting. I would like to see their definition of "wait time when sick". Since the article separately mentions waiting to see specialists, and elective surgery, I'm going to assume wait times in the graph do not include these.

When we talk about wait times in Canada, most people mean the amount of time they have to wait when they walk in to a hospital or clinic, without an appointment. In other words, how long do you have to wait to see a doctor now. Not how long do you have to wait for an appointment with your GP. And that time is typically measured in hours, not days.

Frankly, I'm surprised to see that anyone in any of those countries has to wait 6 days to see a doctor when they are sick.
