And others get treatment same day. It all depends on criticality. One of the reasons for long wait times is that there are always urgent cases being pushed to the top of the list. I agree that it sucks having to wait for an important surgery. But they don't make you wait if it's life threatening.

That's literally what is written in the article. People who wait several months to get a necessary CT or imagery before they can decide to do anything about it. Some cancers can progress very fast in the space of a couple of months, it's basically the difference between life and death in some cases.
