Took my wife to the ER a couple months ago. She had a broken arm. (No, I didn't break it.) Waited for three hours while they treated folks with the sniffles. I asked when they could take her in, and the nurse said she didn't know because of all the ambulance cases coming in. We took our business elsewhere to another hospital. They supplied me with ice packs to hold on her arm (which was getting some serious swelling and hurting something awful), and after another two hour wait, they finally treated her. Just wanted you to know that having "just a headache" may not be the only reason they were so damned slow.
