As I've said before: Posting wait times is strictly a marketing gimmick. It makes you feel good but doesn't really change any of your ER experience. If you go when it's busy and see a doctor within X minutes you will still have to wait a very long time after that if your condition is not emergent. But they SAW you in X minutes.

Plain and simple - law of supply and demand in any business.
