No things won't get any better. My wife over the summer waited from 4pm to 3 am just to be seen. On the other occasion it was better, we only waited 7 hours.
Problem is no beds available. Doctors take the easy way out by sending us to the Emergency room when we could go to,their office if they let us to be seen. Also, the Hospital is seriously understaffed and over worked. They do the best they can but the volume is just to much. Even at incentive of double time and triple during the weekends, their just isn't enough nurses. Right now under Medicaid people without insurance are allowed 20 Emergency room visits per year with no copayment so every drippy nose they run to the Hospital.
