    Exactly. It’s called triage. It’s not first come, first served. If someone is bleeding out, they get treated before you. Your turn will come as soon as there are resources available to take care of you with no one dying. And if the people holding the purse strings are reducing staffing levels, then your wait time is going to a lot longer than it would be if they weren’t trying to cut corners.
