Easing by 11:15 p.m. · Hospital posts 12h 19m for a whole visitDetails

3h 25m is ERstat’s estimate of the time from arriving to seeing a doctor, for when you would get there. The hospital’s 12h 19m is the whole visit, from arriving to leaving, so the two measure different things.

In the ER now: 31 waiting.

Much busier than usual compares the hospital’s posted wait right now (12h 19m) with its own average for a Thursday night over the last 8 weeks (7h 2m).

About ER Wait Times

Emergency departments use triage. Patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.

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.
