3/31/2016 at approx. 4:30 pm, I went into the ER because of pain, swelling and abnormal movement in my hand. 4 hours later after waiting check-in and X-rays, I had to wait in triage for over a half an hour for someone to give me a splint because the person for Orthopedics was out to lunch, and they said they were getting supplies for the splint but I still had to wait a long time for something which ultimately took 2 minutes to do, then sent me back into the waiting room to get my records together and check me out. I left at 9:10 after 15 minutes of waiting before they could check me out, because the last bus was coming and I wasn t going to be stuck there overnight.

Today I was about to go in because of my knee, but considering that it was already around 6 pm and the average wait time is around five hours, and all they would do is more useless x-rays, I wasn't going to risk it.
