I think that more hospitals now are using a triage system - more so than years ago. When I fractured my wrist in the middle of the night last year, I waited less than 15 minutes at my local hospital to get treated. When I was taken almost immediately, I heard from the doctor that was treating me, that there were complaints from people in the waiting room that had been there for several hours waiting to be treated - for a headache, a baby with diaper rash, a toddler with a runny nose, etc, etc - you get the picture! They were upset that I was rushed thru before they were! I feel that all emergency centers should be required to treat in a priority manner.
