Wait 13 Hours to See a Doc

[guohua]

Is that article telling the truth about the long wait for medical attention?
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.

WoW!
No Trauma Patient should have to wait that long.
