"Last time I went to the ER I spent FIVE hours there before being seen."

There is a hierarchy of criteria as to who is seen first based on symptoms. If memory serves me "unconscious with a head injury" goes immediatly to the head of the line no matter how long someone else has been waiting.

It's quite a laundry list - abdominal pain is not in the top 10 - I think it's way down there like 123 or something.

I got a mere gash in my foot once and saw the doctor in 10 minutes. It depends on when, and whether the waiting room is flooded with illegals waiting for their kids' colds to be treated.
