🚪 Why ER Patients Wait in Hallways

The Waiting Game Explained

• Imagine you're at a concert, excited to see your favorite band, but the venue is so packed that you can barely move.
• That's what **emergency rooms (ERs)** feel like for many patients.
• When someone arrives needing urgent care, they might have to wait in line, even if they're in distress.
• ERs are designed to prioritize those who need immediate attention, but sometimes that means waiting in a hallway for what feels like an eternity.
