We know youโre sick. We know youโre uncomfortable. We know you want answers and relief as soon as possible. Wanting to be seen quickly is human and valid.
But the Emergency Room does not work like a fast lane. It works by ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ ๐ which means ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ ๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ค ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ง๐จ๐ฐ, not who arrived first.
Someone who looks โfineโ but has chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe trauma, or altered consciousness may be rushed in immediately. Someone who is stable may wait longer, even if they came earlier.
Waiting is frustrating but medically, it often means you are stable enough to wait. That time is being used to save someone whose life depends on minutes, not hours.
The Emergency Room is not an OPD shortcut.
It is where the most critical patients are protected first.
