Doug, this is not possible. I read on here all the time that you wait 5-10 hours at the ER.

It depends, right? I was at the ER twice last year and was triaged and treated by the physician both times within 15 min of arrival. This was for cardiac problems -- if I had gone in with a broken wrist, I'm sure it would have been a different story.
The time of day is a huge factor as well. One visit was around 6am Sunday morning and there were maybe 2-3 people waiting. On a Wed night at 7pm, the waiting room was so full that there were no available chairs.
