As a someone who rode with ambulance twice in last four days, yup. But let's be fair, med care is different by location. I gave two births in Germany and didn't hear from any of my czech friends about care I got there. In national hospital, nothing fancy.

Birth was great in Slovakia (private hospital), there’s money to be made there.
This experience is from two countries.
I spoke to a friend who is a doctor. It was a very chilling conversation. Things like: “We prescribe this, because it is in the manual and we don’t want to be liable for doing something else. But we know from randomized control trials for a decade now that this treatment usually does not work”. And “in most cases, we are just trying things out, we have no idea what will work”.
I'm strongly standing on the opposite side, of defenseless and mostly healthy people on the friggin table.
