#waittimes — Public Fediverse posts

Just read an article in the Los Angeles Times about hospital #ER wait times...

> Loma Linda University Medical Center ranked third in the country for how long
> its patients typically spent at the emergency department, with a median time of
> nearly seven hours, based on federal data.
