Wait time averages ranging from 1.5-4 hrs are awful. But I'm not seeing anything to suggest a 24-hr wait is normal.
I've been in and out of ERs more often than I'd like to admit over the last ten years. I'm not sure where you're getting your data, but over 24 hours is nothing close to the domestic average.

I meant to say wait times on average for US hospitals and services are similar to that in the UK.
