Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital: "Currently, I've been in the ER for about five hours waiting to be seen.
I've seen the waiting room full up and empty twice.
I was just called back for a second set of vitals since I've been waiting too long for the other vitals to be relevant.
I understand how triage works and that I'm not at deaths door, but this is still a bit excessive of a wait time." - Ryan
