What I have seen is too many DH's there with silly, non urgent illness that could be dealt with by a GP or a medical clinic. I think the hospitals (at least the one I visited) were very poor at screening these people at the door and moving them on to better prioritise and cater for genuine ER patients.
The Ambos take you in and get stuck there waiting for a handover. A mate's missus got taken to Monash Medical Centre the other day from a GP office due to dizziness, the GP was worried she might be having a stroke, but when she got to Monash the hospital kept her on the stretcher for 11hrs with the Ambos staying there for 3hrs before the hospital took over. The hospital ward she ended up in was half empty! They gave her a CT san the 2nd day, then she spent another week in there waiting for an MRI and was discharged 24hrs after!
