To see a doctor if you leave now
3h 34m is ERstat’s estimate of the time from arriving to seeing a doctor, for when you would get there. The hospital’s 8h 26m is the whole visit, from arriving to leaving, so the two measure different things.
In the ER now: 30 waiting.
Busier than usual compares the hospital’s posted wait right now (8h 26m) with its own average for a Wednesday night over the last 8 weeks (6h 29m).

Wait times are ERstat’s estimates, built from what hospitals publish, or from our model where a hospital publishes no wait. They are not the hospital’s own figures. Actual waits may vary.
We check our accuracy every night against what hospitals later post. Forecasting two hours ahead, our estimate is typically off by 32 minutes. See the accuracy scorecard, or how we work the number out.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
