Hell, every time I've ever been to the hospital I've always had a long wait. Even when I wound up needing emergency surgery for my perforated bowel, I still had to wait a few hours before even being taken back into a room, and a few hours after that before the doctor even got to me.
Of course, nobody realized just how sick I was (not even me) until the doctor called a surgeon down to look at me and the surgeon announced how bad off I really was, so I'm not surprised or even upset that what turned out to be a life-or-death situation for me was treated like a non-emergency, since that's what I had first assumed it to be when I went to the hospital.
A 25-minute wait would shock the hell out of me if I ever experienced it. I don't think I've ever waited less than an hour to be taken to the back, let alone seen by a doctor.
