Staffing level of physicians is one of the problems that has created the long wait times. I've had several former medical staff officers tell me that personally, and it included a trip to the ER for my wife (by ambulance) who waited 6 hours for the ER doc to order xrays and call an orthopod to treat a bad fracture.
