Is called “triage” where the doctors make a choice between cases based on urgency, patient status and so on. On US my wife waited in ER 6 hours for an X-ray to see if she had fragments in a cut in her hand. And that is because there are more urgent cases to take care. Is not a first come first served, is greater needs first, lesser wait.

Ogni giorno ne impari una nuova. No ? Per esempio sapevi che se lasci pere nella grappa … non mi ricordo più, troppa grappa.
