I cut my finger pretty bad one night, and had to wait 4+ hours with a huge 1" gash almost to the bone in my finger, that was bleeding a lot.

I wasn't given any kind of gauze or anything, I had to rely on some paper towel I got myself from the bathroom. BTW this was at UCLA Emergency at about 2 am.

On another occassion, I was having some dizzy spells and my eyes were crossing images while driving. I went to a different hospital, Cedars-Sinai, and was in there and getting examined fairly quick, about 45 minutes max waiting, and this was at about 6:00 pm. I was there undergoing testing for a few hours, but int he same time I spent at UCLA for a cut, I got fully checked out at Cedars.

I think it really depends on the time of day, staffing, amount of people coming in with emergencies, and various other situations that would definately take precedence over a smaller ailment.

Either way, I still got taken care of.
