<<If you arrive at emergency with chest pain you receive immediate attention.>>

And Immediate attention is exactly what you describe.

<<When I arrived at the triage nurses's window and told her I had bad chest pain and pain in my left arm, I was practically hit by the double doors to the ER swinging open, then knocked over as she reached to pull me through them into the ER. Within 15 seconds I was on a gurney and hooked to an EKG. They had an IV in and were starting drugs to minimize damage from the heart attack>>

I have reached my anecdote quota for this thread long ago.<gg>So there is no difference between the two systems in this example.

<<You never did answer me how long it would take you to get a hammer toe fixed.>>

Whaa can't you read?...

<<Other ailments, you are triaged in the system, depending on severity and are looked after.>>

Yes you might have to wait...do you think you should be treated for a sore ass hole ahead of heart attack, cancer or someone busted up from an accident?
