2 years back, I had thought about the same question and I had worked in a govt hospital, a private superspecialty hospital and an independent emergency dept.

I wrote a story about how patients are managed in an ordinary casualty where there is no emergency medicine as well as in an emergency dept by emergency physicians.

It is a bit long, but I think you should read it.
