It's pretty hard to make general characterizations of them. They're also different depending on time of day and day of the week. Location matters a great deal, as well.

In just a few minutes, any ER can go from a quiet, efficient health service location to chaos. Then, an hour later, it can go back to being quiet and efficient.

ERs in the heart of any city tend to be raucous places. It's the nature of the beast. Suburban ERs are often relatively empty of patients. They're also often empty of really well-qualified people if you show up there in an emergency.

They're all different.
