These are the average time from entering the ER to being admitted to the hospital by a doctor. In a busy ER, patients will be seen by a triage nurse first. Then the wait time will vary by severity, and how busy the ER is at the time of day. Patients with less serious problems could have substantially longer waits.

: "I've waited 18 hours at John Hopkins Bayview. I need to go again, I've lost all use of my left hand. I woke up one morning and my hand was numb and I can only move a couple of fingers. I don't want to go to the ER because all these Covid-19 paitents but I'm afraid my hand will permanently be like this if I wait." - Matt

: "I waited in the ER for over five hours and had to leave. I was at Northwestern Hospital and it was talk from urgent care it wouldn’t be a long wait. The worst thing for me and whatever I have is City and I felt like I was going to fall off the chair the whole time. I have not been down my hand and arm. I can’t even close my right hand all the way so I drop stuff all the time. I would say perhaps the worst part other than the pain and dizziness is having bladder issues. Yesterday I unfortunately had an accident. I don’t understand why something like this can wait so long. My version of emergency is being seen sooner than later. If I told somebody it’s an emergency and I need you they wouldn’t wait five hours to help me. I am at a loss. I can’t even close my right hand all the way so I drop stuff all the time.

: "With Covid, everyone in healthcare is scrambling. I have Ulcerative Colitis and of an MD had not called 5 min before I was wheeled from their office to ER, I could have been turned away due to fever although it was UC fever along with dehydration, anemia seriously low BP of 78/48, extreme diarrhea with mostly blood. I arrived at 2:30ish and was taken back a couple of time to repeat blood work because the very young phlebotomist did not take enough blood when she stuck me even though I commented that it looked like the tubes were nearly empty. I sat in a decrepit wheel chair for about 6 hours with many other very sick ER waiting patients. I think we need to understand hospitals are short on staff, supplies, Covid protective gear and everyone is on edge. I really thought I was at death’s door when I arrived; so we’re many others. Let’s all give the medical staff a break and hope they really are going by highest Acuity seen first. WEAR YOUR MADK! and distance 10 feet, not 6. Godspeed " - CWT

: "My 14 year old is in pain. She is crying, pacing, rocking, shaking, and occasionally yelling out. She rated it at a 9 out of 10 when we first got here. We’ve been in the waiting room for over 4 hours. There has not been more than 6 patients in the waiting room this whole time. They’ve taken 2 back. Even if they have ambulances coming in why can’t she get in a room where she can rest without listening to the babies yelling? They have dozens of rooms, but patient care is not a priority. This has happened almost every time I’ve been here. I brought another child in 2 years ago and they left us in the waiting room for over 8 hours. At least that time they were actually busy" - Jenn
