Am I being too cynical for assuming this happens everywhere?

Like, even Scrubs and ER back in the 90s/00s had multiple episodes about it.

You’re not, and it does happen everywhere. Same for employees of the hospital. If you work there and you’re waiting for a cat scan and you know the tech you just call them and tell them you’re a patient and you’ll be next AFTER someone who is actively dying/having a stroke. This really isn’t news.

Over someone who is actively dying or having a stroke? Is this a fact? Is this something you’ve seen happen? If so, which hospital? I’m genuinely curious and concerned.

Can’t say I’m surprised, call it a work benefit 🤷‍♂️

If it doesn't happen everywhere, then you would expect to sometimes hear about easily-recognized celebrities sitting in waiting rooms alongside everyone else, especially now that everyone has a smartphone in their pocket. That does not seem to be the case.
