I fell while skating a few years ago and broke my right arm and hit my head. Because I had hit my head I was rushed in and got all sorts of scans to make sure I didn't have any bleeding in the brain - if I hadn't hit my head and it had only been my arm I would have had to wait anywhere from 10 minutes to 2-3 hours to get treatment, depending on how busy the ER was at the time.
Treatment is given based on each patients immediate needs and emergencies have priority. I have no real complaints about the way the Danish health care is run and I don't think waiting a bit before being treated is a problem if the problem isn't critical.
Also, GP's are available 24/7 and there is practically no waiting to get in to see them.
