Well yeah, same here - I was exaggerating, but it's still a shit state of affairs. And if you did go to ER (or A&E as we call it), you'll be waiting for 5 hours while blood pours from you head.

Psychologists on the other hand tend to be private (i.e not on the NHS) so you can get an appointment quickly beacsue you are paying through the nose for it. I'm sure the NHS has psychologists too though, and I'm sure you have to waits months or years to see them.

Having said all that, I love free healthcare (see how I got it back on-topic there?)
