ELI5: Emergency room admission prioritization.

I just feel like there's probably some crazy system in place and I'd like to know more about it in case I ever find myself in a situation.

It's called Triage.  Not a crazy system, but a long time medical practice.  Fix the most broken people first.  Treat the worst injuries/time sensitive threats first.  I.e. You have a broken wrist, the other guy is having chest pains, and someone shows up with the sniffles.   Your wrist isn't getting any broker, but swift intervention may stop a heart attack.  Assess for heart issues.  Chest pains turn out to be a gas bubble.  place on ignore.  Now we look at the wrist, gas bubble waits.  whoops, gunshot victim shows up.  Wrist waits for a while while gunshot person is stabilized and sent to surgery.  Sniffles over there watches another rerun of SportsCenter, and we go back to that pesky wrist.  Gas bubble falls asleep, but then farts it all out so he's woken up and discharged.  Sniffles complains, but then again, who cares.  Back to the wrist. call someone in to X-ray and cast it, but then a motorcycle rider shows up, on a stretcher.  Tox screen and radiology.  Holds up the wrist x-ray for a while.  Sniffles is now on his ipad signing up for a fantasy football league.  You get fed up, grab a scalpel and cut your other wrist, up and down, like a pro.  Start bleeding on the floor.  Now you're a priority.
