Sundsvall hospital in Sweden had a patient in the emergency room who waited so long to see a doctor he took a needle and thread and sewed up a large cut he had on his leg himself. He was reported for using hospital equipment without authorization, and was arrested. I guess he was supposed to sit there and bleed to death while waiting for a doctor to tend to him. At the same hospital pregnant women have the honor of cleaning the bed after they give birth. When they say that socialized medicine really gets you involved in your medical care they weren't kidding. After you play doctor, you get to play nurse.
