My point is not that people have to wait to be discharged but that people in the ER have to wait to get the room. On the day my husband went in there were people on gurneys in the hallway waiting for an ER room because people in the rooms were waiting to be admitted and that was last year not now in the middle of a flu epidemic. No one can tell me that there is not a better way to deal with this than to hold people for 10 hours waiting to be discharged. There is ALWAYS room for improvement.
