I vividly remember at 25, walking in there with a branch protruding from my lower leg, being sat down, and having the nurse come over and tell me they will have me in the back within minutes so they could get it out. Some stupid lady with no visible sign of trauma, who just has sniffles and looked under the weather pipes up real loud to the person next to her how "This is bs, been here 2 hours.... yada, yada." I stared at her until she made eye contact, and pulled the towel back on my leg showing I branch with a 1.5 inch diameter, sticking out of my shin, then just shook my head. She hung her head in shame, and I smiled at her.

99% of the people complaining about wait times, are chronic complainers, and usually chronic hypochondriacs. If you walk into the ER, and you are truly in an emergency situation, you do not wait.

99% of people who routinely end up in the emergency room with serious cuts and contusions, broken bones, and limbs impaled with tree branches probably shouldn't act like an expert in medical care.
