A member asked:
What is the longest amount of time anyone has waited for a doctor in the emergency department of a hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Emergency room waits are based on the severity of the condition a patient presents to an emergency room for. If you present to an emergency room for a non-emergent condition, you may have a very long wait.
