Tonight was a disaster in the ER, ridiculously busy and we had on ept go down to the morgue on top of everything else. But I digress, it was a rather long wait time last night, and i was still getting people in and out at a decent clip. Now I had a few people starting to complain and make a fuss over the wait. Now thes epeople were here for utter nonsense, and Ihad 2 people who are here with legit problems that need prompt treatment and they just patiently waited their turns and werent thrilled about waiting so long but were just happy that I was able to see them and prety much fix their problems.
Well I am going home in 25 minutes and passing da fuck out. Tom |

What's your avg wait time for an acuity 4/5 (I imagine you have similar triage scores).
We have the largest ER in the province... and when people come in for lame stuff, they can easily wait over 8 hours. |

Even with all the swine flu nonsense which is finally slowing down its usualy under 3 hrs on avg. Most attendings let me run the room so i can get stuff done prety quickly and keep things moving, but a big or complicated lac or other procedure can set me back. Tom |

How many beds is your ER?
We get backed up b/c there is no place for admitted patients to go half the time. Too many people awaiting nursing home beds taking up acute care beds in our hospitals. We see on average... prolly 150-175 patients on a normal day. Many times well over 200... |

Wow! This is why I refuse to go to the hospital! Either I hit urgent care or I deal with it at home!!!
