If it was a similar non-life threatening situation you were in, in Malaysia, on a day a private clinic was opened, you'd probably be seen immediately if there weren't any patients before you or at most in 30 minutes. We haven't got a NHS like you and payment is relatively cheap if you go to a General Practitioner who will give you the overall ok if all is in order for about RM 25/= (about STG 4.50, or USD 6.50, including pain killers from the looks of the accident).

If it is serious, you may opt to go to a government runned hospital where waiting time could be anywhere between 2-6 hours. A private hospital or medical centre would probably see you in an hour.

I've worked with the British NHS for awhile and they usually do a brief screening if it is an emergency case to ascertain the status of the emergency before you're moved along the line to the next available doctor in A&E. I am ashamed to say, but your system sure beats a Malaysian government-runned hospital any day.

Hope you're all ok
