Yes, before you could pay to have a private imaging center do an MRI. But, you were required to have a referral from a doctor. The difference is that as of Friday the private clinics are no longer required to only give MRIs to people that have a referral from a doctor.

    If you use the entire length of an American football field endzone to endzone that is accurate. However, most people would use the length excluding the endzones which is 100 yards. Which would make it

    100 yards = 91440 mm
    91440 mm / 9 mm = 1/10160 of a football field

    They look great but, aside from canadian geese, are some of the most aggressive birds I've come across. Once while running on a regularly used pavement path one came and attacked my head. Another time on a different way more well used walking path over a marsh I was repeatedly dive bombed and screamed at to the point I yelled back, "I'M ALLOWED HERE TOO!" Which of course did nothing to help.

    Me too, but you could pause it and it would load the whole video. Now pausing it only loads the next little bit and there is no way (probably is some way I'm not familiar with) to have it download and not buffer anymore.

    Hard to say if you have 4 or 6 tasks. The 2 time sensitive could easily apply to the other categories keeping it at 4 tasks but it is entirely possible you found 2 more and its 6.

    By now I'm sure you've found more anyway :)

    Are we talking primary care visits? Who doesn’t schedule them? Are there any countries where you can just walk into a doctor office and they magically have your tests and records just ready in-hand? Of course not, you make appointments. Same with operations and other medical procedures.

    In my province in Canada we have digital records. While there are some hiccups as a couple of systems merge to one I can see a doctor in the emergency room and then go see my GP the next morning and both the emergency room staff and my GP have access to all of my tests and records.

    There are still issues with long waits but in my experience if you have a long wait its because your issue is not extremely urgent and while waiting sucks its better than needing the care urgently.
