You guys are amusing (and its a gold line trotted out by Raj, who ought to know as he still works a day a week in the ER). I think you're all forgetting what the ER experience is actually like though. Say you break your arm. Its obvious. At this point you're sitting there waiting for a doctor. Then you see the doctor (after how long of a wait?) and they say something like "so, hurt your arm fella? How'd you do that?".
After a one second conversation and a quick peek, they send you for x-rays. Its silly. Everyone knows its a broken arm, so you shoukd be sent for x-rays immediately, but the system doesn't work that way. Under this new plan though, it will.
I realize that doesn't sound earth shattering, but it makes sense. Why have the guy sit there and tie up a doctor for hours when everyone knows whats wrong? Just get him the care and get him out the door.
