Dangit. I might need to call in for paid sick leave without wasting any paid days off and have a doctor check me out without seeing any invoices after that blow
I will gladly let you have everything I have and more. I think you deserve the things I have. So I would do you a disservice, if I let you have a hollow victory that’ll just lull you into a false sense of “this is fine”.
Jokes aside: the waiting times in most of Europe are fractionally longer than in the US and that is mainly because more people have access to more medical aid in the first place. It’s easy to get fast appointments if the percentage of the population actually trying to get them is way smaller and that’s not a good thing come to think of it.
Besides: a doctor’s appointment at a general practitioner is usually on the same day, in rare cases on the next. So you will always have quick access to a doctor if you need one, ER care and such nit taken into account, because those exist as well of course.
That’s what we use in my home country both in written form and in everyday speech. It’s completely fine, and I’d even argue it’s better.
You mentally go from the broadest information to the more specific, the first piece of data you hear is immediately useful as you can place in time instead of having to wait until you hear the whole date.
It’s the same logic as with every other form measurement from time, distance, volume, weight etc.
In England perhaps, here in Belgium we eat sweet stuff for breakfast, for example we sometimes eat dark brown pill-shaped chocolaty stuff called “mouse shit” on our slices of bread. Yum!
