you struggle so with common sense: obviously the intent of hospital ERs is to provide trauma and emergency services for people in imminent danger of losing their life or suffering permanent damage to their health.

That might be the intent but common knowledge says you can speed up your passage thru or into the health system by showing up at ER.  My wife is recovering in hospital from surgery right now that likely would have been delayed by the length of time it was taking to get a diagnostic CT scan of her abdomen. After complaining for a couple of months about the pain she was in to the medical clinic she went to the local ER. The attending physician ordered an emergency scan the next day.  Her GP told her privately later that she did the right thing.

I think no matter how one deals with our health system there'll always be a certain element that says its everyone for themselves.

Then there was the time I organized a petition for better food on the ward I was stuck in for a week.
