My husband said that in New York and other Larger cities here you have a lengthy wait also, but not 8 to 13 hours.
When I bring my patients into the ER for emergency treatment or medication, because my patients are trauma patients, and most often the police are involved, my patients are seen as a priority. Even as a priority I have had times that I have had to wait six to eight hours, before my patients were allotted a bed, and even longer before they were seen, this was long before COVID ever was known to exist.
There are a ton of reasons for why an ER can become overwhelmed, overloaded, or understaffed.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
