It AIN'T just here that ER's have difficulties.
I have used that URL before. Once it said 5 min and we waited 4 hours. This time (I am currently in the hospital) the site said 0 min. It took 6 hours and I went to a hospital room 17 hours later. I will say everyone was doing their job (well, maybe except for one who does registration) my care has be excellent. Yes, it happens all over but things do get overcrowded this time of year.
The TVRH app only gives time to triage and then you wait.
