re: Three hours waiting at the ER (Update pg. 6)

EMS isn't held up. If the person is stable, they'll be sent right out to the waiting room to wait with everyone else, and EMS goes on their way.

Saw this Monday night myself. Had to take my mom to the ER (UTI and severe anemia). EMS brings a lady in, sits her in a chair in the waiting room, grabs his shite and is gone.

We got to the ER at 8 something Monday evening. Finally got in an ER bay around midnight, and into a room about 6:15 yesterday morning. And this is in the outer ring suburbs of Atlanta, not a heavily urban area.
