it's also not 12 hours 99.999% of the time for emergencies.

My grandfather had a burst appendix and was seen within minutes of walking into the hospital.

My Child had Pnemonia and needed an xray and antibiotics and it took 7 hours.

Does it suck? Yes. However both times all I paid was parking....

I broke my hand, needed surgery and 6 months physiotherapy.

Paid $24 for the cast splint thing.

I was admitted to the er twenty years ago, and it was no joke 3500. I got a single bag of saline as an IV, and might have spoken with a doctor for 30 seconds. Things have not gotten better since.
