Montreal Mini-Covid Hospital is serving COVID-19 patients. The hospital is receiving
20 patients per hour for COVID test. At any given time, there are 5 patients waiting
in line while the front desk is serving each patient in 3 minutes and directing 50% of
patients to Dr. John and 50% of patients to Dr. Mary. At any given time, there are 15
patients in Dr. John's waiting room while he is serving each patient in 4 minutes and
admitting 20% of his patients for treatment. Likewise, at any given time, there are 8
patients in Dr. Mary's waiting room while she is serving each patient in 5 minutes
and admitting 15% of her patients for treatment.
