Yeah, the widely accepted (globally I mean) NHS guideline for any heart concerns is '4h at most' IIRC (for all urgent ER stuff actually, as I recall)

And that's their shitty max. Aus was getting to 4.5-5h waits for that sometimes, 10 is absolutely insane. Having said that, if you're not showing certain symptoms, you're technically still urgent, but they're just monitoring you in the waiting room. If you're all cold and clammy with a sweat going, they think it's actual heart issues and will rush you right in. If it's just complaints of a sharp pain or something an hour ago you aren't actually 'urgent-urgent', you're at the tail end of that 4h guideline. Because a lot (not all) of the other cases are pinched nerves, anxiety, and first bad heartburn.

When I was in the ER, waiting (longer than I should have been) the worst was a heavily pregnant woman in clear distress waiting 1.5hours. The other patients were attending to her, absolute insanity. 2-3 of them were malingerers after some drugs. You're not wrong, a stay in the ER as an 'urgent, but sit and wait 4+ hours' patient is one hell of a wake up call and experience.

Went home, took a tylenol,

Well at least you are now eligible for autism benefits.

Do get yourself checked, ignoring heart stuff is an easy way to die. Just know a wait isn't actually unexpected unless you're showing some certain other signs they're watching out for.
