Asphaltgambler, I can be a little slow so let me see if I understand your position. It is basically OK to lie and fake symptoms to get into the er, because you are too important and certainly sicker than anyone else that is waiting, in fact that is the american way. "most of the 'unwashed' in the waiting looked ok to me" I assume you are a trained medical professional and can truely judge that you were by far the sickest person in the ER. You are also somehow "washed" and therefore deserve faster care. You can also somehow tell who has insurance by how they look? That is just great. Why stop at ER's? Lets all lie about everything. Want to eat at a restaurant that has a line- it is not my fault their bad managment has made the place crowded- maybe I'll say I have diabetes and if I don't get to eat right now I'll develope internal bleeding- then start twitching. Wait in line at a grocery store- not me, not my fault- just shout out that your family will perish if you don't get home immediatiely with food- and jump to the front of the line. Do you do that? , it wouldn't surprise me. Me first. Sorry, you may be a great person in real life, but here you come off as an arrogant elitest jerk, that thinks nothing of deceiving others to obtain what you want, right now. I hope your poor judgement does not cause another to suffer.
