I'm serious here and have experienced this first hand. My late wife (first wife) had her replacement hip displaced about 7 years ago because she was doing some gardening work and lifted something heavy which caused the displacement. When I took her to the emergency room, she was there 5-6 hours because the Xrays were scanned and sent to Australia for a hip specialist to read them. The whole process time wise could have been reduced by 2/3s, but because the main objective was to save money in reading the Xray and prescribing treatment, the hip specialists doing the simple procedure in NYC had to wait around till the Australian hip specialists got around to reading the Xray in the middle of the night (Aussie time).

The process here took so long they ended up having to give my wife morphine to take the edge off the pain. And that could have been avoided if the XRays were read where they were taken, in NYC.
