"...have you been in an actual emergency room in a city lately?"

In my case, yup. The really bad ones came in Air Life and we didn't see them - just heard the choppers. The lady who was vomiting uncontrollably and me with my massively dislocated shoulder went to 1 & 2 in line when we arrived.

Everyone else was ambulatory and looked fine to me.

Everyone else was ambulatory and looked fine to me.

I was in the hospital not long ago with a possible case of spinal meningitis (that was scary & spinal taps suck), turns out I just happened to have a high fever and a stiff neck at the same time, but the point is I was the ONLY English-speaking person in the crowded emergency room.

And the rest of them weren't speaking Japanese, if you get me....

I was also one of only three people who seemed to have any sort of real problem, the other one was an elderly man in cardiac arrest, the third was a teenager ejected from a rollover.
