Canadians are willing to jump the queues

If they only could:

* About 71 percent said they would likely or definitely speak to a neighbor who is a secretary at an MRI clinic if it meant getting moved up a list instead of waiting three months

* Some 30 percent would give their surgeon tickets to basketball and hockey games if it meant getting hip replacement surgery faster.

* Just over 50 percent were willing to pay a $20 “emergency fee” to see a dermatologist about an unattractive but apparently harmless rash instead of waiting three months.

* Another 56 percent said they would likely or definitely let a doctor who owes them a favor move them up a waiting list for cataract surgery.
