I've taken the attitude that you if have a long wait in the ER, it means they're very busy, and you're not as sick as the other people there. The last several times my husband has gone to our local ER, it's been for breathing and/or heart related problems. He's always taken right in and treated quickly ahead of others.

However, that can't have been pleasant for the woman who had the broken arm.

I think Kahuna's post nailed it.
