While being checked out by the EMT's in the ambulance Monday they were pretty insistent that I accept the ride due to possible internal injuries from fractured ribs which I was fine with. They obviously thought my condition warranted an emergency room visit. They then mentioned that I'd be waiting 12+hrs to see a doc \/ I completely agree that ER's are clogged with people that dont need to be there but waiting more than 1/2 a day in extreme pain to see someone for potentially serious injuries indicates that there is an issue with the system.
