I have a lot of respect for those who work in ED - really can't be an easy place to work. I was impressed when I had to take DH to hospital as he'd been sick for over a week, diagnosed with pnuemonia by a GP and was having trouble breathing - we had his x-rays with us and were seen straight away, they brought a wheelchair with oxygen bottle. Mind you it was 7am on a Tuesday morning, so not exactly the busiest time.
