That's socialized medicine for you.
I lived through that shit in Germany until I left, and I was almost gonna die because of it once. Now where I live, most my appointments are next day or two, including instant x ray, ultra sound, while MRI and CT takes 3-5 days at most.
I know people who waited for months to get an MRI in Europe. X ray easily takes 2 weeks if not months unless it's an emergency.
I know gynecologist appointments for some people went for 6+ months.
I guess people made their choice. Enjoy the free medicine you always wanted. No hate. Just enjoyment. It's just fun to watch.
That's bad socialized medicine. But sure, private medicine is objectively better than underfunded socialized medicine, if you belong to the minority of people who can afford it. Congrats!
