I fucking hate the “Average ER Wait Time” signs outside of hospitals. Most of the time, this measures time you wait between entering the door and your information being entered into the system. It rarely means the amount of time of wait between when you are triaged to when you are seen by a healthcare professional, which can be hours.

That’s a thing? I fucking hate that those even exist!
