I don’t know who those guys are, but as a rule of thumb don’t cut people’s fingers off. Go for their family members instead. People will go through a lot of pain personally, but the added emotional stress of protecting a loved one makes them cave in much faster.
TL;DR I don’t really understand these numbers. I mean I’ll believe them when we’re the best Scandinavian country, but i still don’t understand.
Danish queues for a non emergency psychiatric evals are similar to yours. I realize that my meds aren’t working properly right now. The rest of this paragraph is just me making a convoluted rant about queues. There’s a single psychiatrist with just 12 weeks wait, right dab smack in middle of the country, but that’s most certainly an error, because everyone else in a 100km radius is +80weeks. The next best queues are +45 weeks if you want to travel to Sealand several times ( which in my case can be +120€ per trip) if you insist on not going to Sealand, then the queues start at 80 weeks, and if I limit my traveltime by car to an hour, then it’s 120 weeks… The psychiatrist that evaluated my ADHD had about a queue of about 75 weeks back then, now the same place is reporting a queue of 300 weeks, that’s 6 fucking years. I mean you can sign up, and hope that people in front of you die of old age.
And the stupid thing is, that it’s all artificial. Most psychiatrists could see more patients, but they’re only allowed to bill a certain amount of hours to the government. And only psychiatrists are allowed to start people on ADHD meds.
Of course, if you can spend 2k €, or happen to have private healthcare insurance through your job, then there’s no queue. But the rest of us are just fucked.
So why are we better at healthcare? It’s definitely not psychiatric care. Maybe we live longer? IDK.
