Switzerland: if you're ill, you don't go to the hospital. You go the a doctor near you, that already knows your medical history (family doctor), or you call a free hotline (Sanatel), or you just go to a Pharmacy, as the personnel there has medical training and they can also find the nearest doctor and make an appointment for you. And then, bigger public transport stations and airports have doctor stations that are reasonably staffed where you can just walk in ~24hrs. Hospitals do have walk-in for illness as well, but in relation to other stuff going on in the hospital you don't have a high priority and wait times can be more than you'd expect.
