Getting in line

CMAJ 2000;163(2):157

See response from: D. Naylor
Finally, a research paper makes the case that sick people waiting in line die at a rate similar to or slightly lower than the death rate for other sick people [Research].1 Will government now be able to say that queuing isn't bad for you? Let's put everyone on a waiting list to reduce the death rates for all diseases.
