As concern surrounding emergency departments in Ontario continues, one might be hesitant to make the trip to the ER that they otherwise would have in the past.
A big part of that decision for many is how long they’ll have to wait.
First things first, you should never jeopardize your health. Perth ER Physician Dr. Allan Drummond says if you need to go to the ER, go.
Drummond adds the summertime is always a busy time of the year for emergency rooms and, yes, you can expect to have a lengthy wait should you decide to go, so plan ahead if you can.
He says there’s a lot of factors as to why you may have to wait a long time, adding its important to know what’s going on behind the scenes.
The Doctor says staff work as quickly as they can to work through the queue.
He and all staff at our local hospitals thank their patience and visitors in advance for their understanding and patience.
