Patients in Logan and Redland hospitals are waiting up to three days for a bed in emergency departments.
Australasian College for Emergency Medicine president Simon Judkins visited the hospitals after hearing patients were waiting for 24 hours for a bed and, in some extreme cases, up to 72 hours
Judkins said putting patients in a chair to wait for three days is inhumane and intolerable, especially considering the type of patients emergency departments receive.
