If you call other hospitals you will generally find the same wait time. We did that. It's really a matter of the UC places being open longer hours. Also the other question is, what happens when uninsured people go to UC, will they be asked to pay? I think that's why many uninsured still will want to go to ED. Maybe the Village Hospital UC will be concidered part of the ED?
Even tho an indivdual feels that their pain and suffering is worse than anyone else's in the waiting room we all are feeling the same way. I knew I'd have to wait so I tried just to be calm(no way I could relax), getting all worked up would only intensify my perception of my pain. Sometimes you just have to get a grip. I find the older I get the more patience I have because people yelling and complaining look so foolish most of the time.
