    Define asap as a unit of time. As Being in a typical emergency waiting room for a life saving vaccine you could be waiting a full day.

    Things that are faster than the emergency services:

    Doing your taxes

    Applying for residency

    Applying for passport.

    Applying for citizenship

    Testing and buying a new car.

    Getting a background check done

    Waiting for the tv technician to arrive at your home when they give you an 8 hr waiting period and also the installation.

    Being on hold with literally any service.

    Getting any form of dental work done

    Any sports game.

    Painting a room

    Doing a marathon

        And yet people still die waiting in ER.

        Working in ER doesn’t trump people who have been in ER waiting/dying to be seen. There have been deaths waiting in ER and it’s dismissed as not important enough to change the situation. If anything, claiming you worked in ER and defending this shit is admittance to apathy and sociopathic tendencies
