About usualfor a Thursday morning
To see a doctor if you leave now
2h 36m is ERstat’s estimate of the time from arriving to seeing a doctor, for when you would get there. The hospital’s 4h–7h is the whole visit, from arriving to leaving, so the two measure different things.
About usual compares the hospital’s posted wait right now (5h 30m) with its own average for a Thursday morning over the last 8 weeks (5h 24m).
