> lung cancer CT scans happen inside a week. I know this from experience.

This is such a mischaracterization of the Swedish healthcare system, which is much more a lottery than your 'personal experience' suggests.

I have my own experience of a service that is plagued by delays, inefficiency and outright dystopian suffering alongside other people who have had fast and efficient help.

It's very much the luck of the draw - although sometimes I get the impression that social standing and even 'blondeness quotient' may help to get better care.
