Did you respond to the wrong person?

"Healthcare isnt the get rich quick scheme people seem to believe it is. It’s basically hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt for near a decade of school, just for the privilege to basically work for free for several years."

I never said this nor do I think this, I'm so confused lol. OP asked about other services that are similar, and I responded.

They assumed that when you said "veterinary offices are the only places I can understand" that you meant you cannot understand this happening at doctor's offices.

Ahhh thanks, that was a flippant remark. I meant "veterinary offices are the only place I can think of in the moment that are similar".

Still a little bit confused by the jump they made even if it was meant the first way, because I wouldn't blame the poor wait times on an average staff worker but the hospital owners, drug makers, equipment patents, etc making millions a year and incentivizing lower pay for the average worker and a fast turn around time.
