Who's to say whats an emergency for certain people and whats not though, if you are in agonising pain with a kidney stone and it's making you double over then I would class that as an emergency tbh.

Also I'm not sure if all a&e is the same but in ours if you go there by ambulance they check you over and you get sent to the emergency receiving unit to wait, if you walk in to a/e they tend to send you back to your seat once you finally get seen until they sort out a prescription and stuff for you.
