Is there a way to find out the wait time of your emergency room as there is for other hospitals on the Eastern Shore of Md,, Went last nighr no one in parking lot, 3 people (2 of them together) in waiting room and after 45 mins was told a 6 hour wait

I waited 4 1/2 hours before a doctor finally came in. Said he was going to order blood work and x- rays. Well for one, an x-ray was already done. When I informed him of this, he said he did not have time to read it and informed me he was with a patient for 6 hours. Additionally, it appeared, like most staff I encounter, seem to have little, if any training about how to effectively interact with patients with Alzheimer's disease. When he entered the room, he never apologized for the extensive delay. Almost like our time was not important. He appeared a tad frazzled and left the room in a bit of a huff. Sounds like the hospital is having a doctor staffing problem. I don't see how working human beings to their limits, to the point where patient care is negatively impacted is appropriate. That's why I believe in unions! Unions fight for the rights of employees, thus positively impacting the patients. A happy, well rested, employee whose needs are being met, leads to better patient care.

What you may not see is the patients coming in by ambulance. With covid
