Why do we have to wait in line for the triage nurse in the emergency room? If I’m facing a medical emergency that might not be immediately obvious but could be life-threatening while I wait, should I speak up or just hold off until my turn?

One thought on “What is the deal with lining up for the triage nurse in hospital emergency room? If I have a medical emergency which isn’t necessarily visible at first sight but could kill me whilst waiting in line, should I say something or wait until it is my turn?”

  1. It’s understandable to feel anxious about waiting in line at the emergency room, especially if you believe your condition could be serious. If you think your situation is a medical emergency, it’s important to speak up. Emergency departments use a triage system to assess the severity of patients’ conditions, and if you feel that yours requires immediate attention, you should inform the staff right away.

    Let them know about your symptoms clearly and calmly; this can help them prioritize your care appropriately. In many ERs, there are protocols in place for addressing urgent cases, and you have the right to voice your concerns. Remember, it’s better to be proactive about your health!
