My daughter has reported similar observations. The people who are waiting, (and their family/friends that brought them there), then get bitchy and start verbally abusing the staff. The staff is exhausted and burned out, so they call out "sick", which further handicaps the hospital's ability to deal with patients coming in, and so on, and so on.... The hospital is now offering huge incentives for staff to come in on their off days to help deal with the workload
