How long will I have to wait?
Never assume that those who walk into the Emergency Department should wait their turn. While another patient may not appear to be sicker than you are, some symptoms such as chest pain may require that the patient be treated immediately. The Emergency Department staff works hard to provide prompt care, however your wait depends upon:
 The nature of your condition
How busy the department is when you arrive
The number of persons requiring immediate treatment for critical or serious conditions
Please immediately report any changes in your condition to the triage nurse.
After you have been seen by a physician or physician assistant, you may need to wait for the results of the tests.
