So while you're sitting there waiting for 9+ hours, know that a huge chunk of the beds are taken because someone huffed paint for the 3rd time that day and is making his 2nd hospital visit (via ambulance) of the day. Think they'll pay a penny?

But what else can you do? Can't refuse them treatment.

edit: maybe i'll leave his name out of this.
Thats the beauty of a public system. 5-10% of the people take up 95% of the resources, and when H&L grandmother has a problem, its impossible for her to get care.
