They basically tell you to fill out a bunch of paperwork and wait in line, no matter how serious your case is. It's really ridiculous, since the person working the reception desk has to be a certified nurse and should be able to tell the difference between a real emergency and the person there because he or she is running a slight fever. They're just too wrapped up in their messed up system to even bother paying attention to the people that come into the ER.
