You're (perversely) lucky it was only 30 minutes.
I wrote the 30 minutes off to normal Georgia style half-assed bumbling, but I was taken aback by not even looking at the transfer/referral from an Urgent Care clinic. It just makes me wonder if this "problem with cyclists" things was broader than just one tech. I had a 3.4-4 hour wait for ER with a broken clavicle a few years ago, which was one reason I went to a clinic instead when I was sure there was a serious problem.

@wgscott I'm not going to see a lawyer about that, but I will speak to the hospital administrator about it later.
