I have called a few nurse hot lines and they only say "I can't answer those questions or give you any advice you have to decide that on your own" my question was "I went into an urgent care recently and had bronchitis and now my grandma believes it's turned into walking pneumonia and I can't stop gagging throwing up dry heaving and cant breath but I don't know if I should go back to the urgent care or should I come into the ER?" both ladys I spoke too used a supprizingly irritated and rude tone with me and I never got any valid responces..... So it's hard to call and ask anyone for advice :/ I just decided to go in to an urgent care cause at least they don't seem upset that I don't know what's going on and that I've never been sick before... Deaconess seemed mad or irritated with me the whole time and chas urgent care answered all my questions told me that if I am throwing up or coughing Flem and hitting a fever or have the Shakes then they would maybe go to a ER! Just my Expirences

How quickly you're seen depends entirely upon what is wrong with you. I'd recommend calling a nurse hotline first to see if you really need to go to an ER (of course, for a true emergency call 911). Your local doctor's office will usually have 24-hour call service as well. If you need to be seen urgently, it'll happen. If you find yourself waiting, it's usually because people much sicker than yourself came in who needed emergency care. Good thing you're not them! But yeah, impossible to tell. Sorry.

There is no way too, I work there in the ER and given that it's not first come first serve its luck of the draw depending on what your being seen for. They go by severity of condition and depending on how many ambulances come in etc..

If you're asking then you probably don't need an ER
