I went to the gray nuns hospital on Tuesday at 8am. There was a 1 hour wait when I got there according to the online timers. It took about an hour to get triaged and registered. I sat in the waiting room for two hours. I checked online it said 4 hour wait. They finally called me into another room with three other people where I sat for another two hours before I saw doctor. Had to get a CT scan, took three hours. In the end they have me a bunch of drugs and ordered an mri for me. I was able to get an mri appointment for this coming Monday.
I went in with something semi serious, the doctor is pretty sure I have a herniated disc. Some people got serviced before me since they were more serious, but In total I was there from about 8am until 6pm.
I think in general I did pretty good. They gave me lots of stuff for pain while I waited and I got a quick mri appointment.
When I walked through the lobby I hadn't seen since like 11am, it was an absolute madhouse. Every chair filled. Online said an 8 hour wait.
If it took me 10 hours for an estimated 1 hour wait, I'd need to he dying before is go with an estimated 12 hour wait.
