ER Delays Hit Four Hours | Birmingham News
Description
Emergency rooms are overwhelmed, with DCH Regional Medical’s ER hitting a four-hour wait time—nearly double the national average. With 196 patients and only 52 rooms, hallways fill with waiting patients. Staff prioritize care using a severity scale from one to five, treating life-threatening cases first. Though staff acknowledge the strain, especially on busy Mondays, they’re working hard to manage the surge and treat everyone as quickly as possible.
