I would much rather be in A&E for 5, 6 or 10 hours if that meant my treatment was carefully thought through, organised and given.
Xrays, lab tests, etc do not appear out of thin air - they take time to process and to be read. Obviously all hospital departments need to be as time-efficient as possible, but if a cardiac arrest comes in while they are treating my broken arm - I expect to wait for as long as it takes.
The only solution is more staff in all departments.
