A stress test in the ER? It takes about 2-3 hours just to get the chest
xrays and blood work back.

Not when your wife works there. X-rays and bloodwork done in 1 hour.
Sorry if you don't like my story. Also sorry that you'd have to wait so long
for x-rays. Fearing a possible heart problem, I can't imagine x-rays taking 3
hours. Mine were shot and processed within minutes. The blood work took
slightly longer, maybe 50 minutes for results.
When I got there there was not a single person in the waiting room.
