My dad went to the ER a few weeks ago by ambulance. Again, 100 people in the waiting room. He was taken to a room tucked in the back. We sat with him for five hours. Nurse could not tell us when he would see a doctor. I was told by a retired nurse from Fort Lauderdale that Florida law says a doctor must see a patient within 48 hours. The problem is, they do not have enough ER doctors on staff.
