Have medical conditions that require ED visits.

Been in one more than most.

13 hours is typical.

23 hours before being seen is my current maximum.

Canadian medical care is not much longer in wait times than American medical care.

    seems a little worst, i was in public funded hospital(aka govt funded), they took people immediately, based on the severity of the ER visit. one time i had loss of smell , which slowly came back they took me in immediately. cant say much for rural hospitals though, or hospitals serving a large part of a red state.
