Just install a bar in the waiting room and hand out pagers. "If you'd like to relax in the bar area and have a few drinks, we'll buzz you when your table *cough* room is ready." It would do a lot for your patient satisfaction scores... not so much for their health or coherency tho.
If the chap's well enough to go off to a bar, maybe he can wait and see his PCP? Triage note 'Patient discharged to bar'
I kid you not...weirdest question ever asked in triage:
