All day at the emergency room when my ex burned the skin off his palm. This was the very early 1990s and apparently they triaged: Gunshot wounds, then anyone who had insurance and could pay, then everyone else. So it became a much more complicated medical event than it needed to be, and he was in pain the whole time.
Oh man I forgot about hospitals. Don't know if the longest line would have been there but they dominate my personal top ten
I was in a&e last month for ibd issues, I got there just before midnight and was there to 4 in the afternoon then next day. more than 10 hours I was there. Was triaged within an hour and had blood tests done within another hour. The rest of it was waiting to see a Dr who didn't get on shift until after 6 am. So the Dr and then had to wait for near ten hours just to see the Dr again to find out if I was being admitted or not.
