The wait time for a routine orthopedic procedure in some regions is sitting at 47 weeks. This isn't just an inconvenience; it's "time toxicity". Biologically, waiting 47 weeks means active, compounding physical deterioration. Cartilage continues to erode, bone grinds on bone, and chronic pain leads to muscle atrophy and cardiovascular decline. Patients are no longer accepting being passive statistics in these systems.
