Where has this happened to you? I've been to the ER 6 times in the US and never waited more than 2 hours (pre-covid) in New Orleans, San Francisco, and New York.
The time I had to wait 2 hours in SF, with a kidney stone was not pleasant, but it was at 3 AM at a hospital that does charity for the homeless, so that was a bit exceptional.
