Not sure how many times you've been in hospitals, but any time I have there have been way too many employees/nurses/doctors just sitting around chatting instead of serving patients. The wait times could be decreased substantially if they would actually be doing something.
The last time my step-son broke his heel, we had to wait in the waiting room for easily 4 hours, then after going into the room had to wait yet another 30-40 minutes to even have someone come talk to us. In the meantime, nurses/etc were sitting at their desks outside the rooms chatting about their upcoming weekend. Once there was a break in the conversation, someone came in (no idea if it was one of the talkers) to get our information so we could wait some more for the doctor.
There needs to be a whole culture shift... and keeping the status quo isn't going to do that.
