The last time I took someone to the emergency room which was only a few months ago, it was a six-hour wait.
SIX HOURS!
Some of the other families said they had been in the emergency room waiting even longer than six hours.
Those emergency room waits could increase because many people who may feel suddenly ill may worry about having Ebola. Where are those people going to go? The Emergency Room.

Now, it's flu season and that's just going to compound the wait in the doctor's offices, urgent care offices, and emergency rooms.
No one is looking forward to this flu season... but does anyone ever look forward to flu season?
