Trips to the ER are usually not planned, although many are. One person may feel ill all day while another just had a car accident or another type of trauma. You may go to the ER on your own accord. Or may have had an ambulance transport you there. You feel terrible and you have some unusual pain or fever that is just lasting too long. You may have some chest tightness, not actually presenting as pain, but is still there and the heartburn is accompanying this. So many scenarios exist which different levels of care.
You find yourself waiting too long in the hospital waiting room.
What makes one patient get treated in a more rapid manor than the next? There are acuity levels
Of patients that present with signs of something potentially serious going on. They arrive a bit after you..... What happened to the first come first served rule? It does not really apply . If a potentially
Serious or perhaps life threatening condition exists in a patient that has arrived after you they get your spot. Hopefully there are enough resources to move you in as quickly as they can.

Of impending doom
