The healthcare system in this oh-so-rich country is in a deplorable state. We spoke to Vienna's City Councillor for Health Peter Hacker from the SPÖ party about the plight. And he makes a clear statement about the side jobs of hospital doctors. There is a lot to come for the clinics ...

"Krone": Mr. City Councillor, when was the last time you had to wait how long for a doctor or a doctor's appointment?
Peter Hacker: I have a GP in a primary care center and I wait about three to four days there.
