I have a question about. Emergency rooms.

I've spent many of nights (and days) in ER's for illnesses that, in the grande sceme of things, aren't emergencies, but do require immediate care (it can take weeks to get an appt). The doctor who staffs the ER patients-what are they doing? Patients wait hours to be seen by a doctor who only spends 10 mins with them. There are people who've say they've been here from 430pm and still haven't been seen.

I went to an ER where I was literally the only patient waiting to be seen. It still took a half hour to triage and another 2 hours to be seen. What gives?

I would think that the hospital would want to get patients out asap. Why do we wait hours on end? Are ER's a big joke to doctors/nurses? Are yall just lmao-ing behind that registration plexiglass?
