First of all no patients were classified as non-urgent, emergent or immediate. Also none of the patients rated their pain scores on a level of 0, 1, 3 or 4. I found it interesting that the length of stay was spread out among the patients. More patients arrived by private vehicle than by ambulance. This could be because most patients were not critical.

Of the sample the urgent patients had a 2-3 hour stay of 45.5%, while the less urgent had 0%. The less urgent patient class had a 55.6% level in
