An anecdote that supports this: I was just in the emergency department and asked them why it was so quiet on the weekend. They said many people wait until Monday to seek treatment for whatever reason.

Probably varies by hospital and area but things like imagining departments being closed might factor in to that. England here.

More than once a relative has been admitted on a Saturday and is just observed until Monday when the full diagnostics are available (eg MRI).
