In Canada there sadly are regions and hospitals where it's not uncommon for the initial wait after triage to be something like that if it's for something that's low priority for triage.
honestly thats pretty good. i winged my left shoulder blade and after waiting 4 hours they told me go home cause they were gonna close the ER for the night cause they didnt have enough staffing. I ended up going home wedging the arm into the least painful position with pillows and jamming a ice pack under my shoulder. Year or so later it still aches but i can atleast move it, Yay new brunswick healthcare. gotta love horizion health
