The team works to provide quality care as quickly as possible. The most seriously ill patients are seen first even though they may come into the department after other patients. This is why the triage nurse checks everyone as soon as possible after they arrive.
Some patients have made arrangements to see their family doctor or a specialist in the emergency department. When the family doctor or specialist arrives, the patient will be seen by that doctor.
There are many different types of rooms with specialized equipment needed for different medical problems such as the cast room or the surgery room (for stitches). In this case, arrangements must be made to free the room before this type of care can be given.
We appreciate your patience if you are required to wait. While waiting, if you have questions or you feel your condition has become worse, please let the triage nurse know right away. The triage nurse will also be checking with you regularly.
