Default Dreadful ER experience last night

My houseguest became quite ill yesterday and the paramedics were called and they transported him to The Villages Regional Hospital, arriving at 8:45 last night. He was given some anti nausea medicine, checked his vitals, and told him to take a seat in the waiting room, which was around 9:20.
He was next seen at 04:30 this morning, a wait of seven hours. While in the waiting room we heard one patient complaining that they had been there just over 10 hours! Still another said they had been there over seven hours.
To me, these wait times are unacceptable. If not addressed, what will the wait times be when the new villages being built start to get filled up?
