“If you are sick beyond sick, you’re going to be seen very quickly,” Claude says. “If it’s not a life-threatening emergency, you may not be seen as quickly as you like, but we will make sure you are safe and seen as quickly as possible.” There are many factors that determine how long you will wait at the ER, most notably: Severity of your condition Number of critical or trauma patients arriving Availability of beds Number of patients waiting Read: Should I Go to Urgent Care or the ER? Staying comfortable You are welcome to bring items that make you more comfortable, like snacks, laptops, books, and blankets.
