Recently had to go to A&E (ER) in UK.

I was seen by a triage nurse in under 5 minutes. I had a wound on my leg that was only not bleeding due to a tourniquet. Was sent to the waiting room. A women there was complaining they'd been waiting 6 hours for her kid who was running laps of the room.

I was seen in under 20 minutes.

2 hours later as I was on my way home having had my leg stitched up and they were still waiting.
