>>>> Sure, with more serious injuries, just as I experienced a week ago at a local ER... One lady came to ER with a 1/4" cut on her finger, and requested "few stitches". She was treated to full extent, taking time of a surgeon, nurse, and accountant. And another lady, with apparently broken arm and in severe pain, was waiting and waiting and waiting. Is this what you define as "efficient", right? Most ERs have a pretty decent triage setup; neither you nor I are in a position to know what happened in your supposed scenario. Unless you are an employee, you wouldn't know; if you are one, you should know. Perhaps the triage mechanism treats both of those the same; perhaps they were waiting on medical records or insurance information or authorization. But I don't see that anything you've said reflects on "efficiency".
