Your wait time is influenced by many factors, such as severity of medical condition, number of patients, room availability, and if there is a need for specialized rooms or equipment. Critically ill or injured patients are always treated before patients with less severe medical problems.

If you are asked to wait, please return to the triage area and ask to speak to a nurse if your condition changes or you have a question.
