The good doctor is 60km away from my hometown, 230km away from the town where I study/live.
I'm sure if you have money you can move to the head of the line. I had to wait 3 months for shoulder surgery, but if I had gone to Canada and paid $20,000 cash I could have gotten it sooner. In canada they have waiting lists for care but if you bypass their healthcare system.
