These days it seems as if ambulance triage and walk-in triage is all I
do. Usually I would complain, but lately I'm so disgruntled with
management and the constant understaffing (8 nurses when we're
supposed to have 15), that I don't even care. And sometimes it's nice
to not have to make a commitment to a patient. "What's wrong with you?
Ok, bed 12. See ya!"

That's just wrong, and dangerous, to be so understaffed.
You just learn to cut people off as quickly as possible when they start rambling.
Words to live by, ERP! I agree!
When I work in triage, I say, "So, what's happening TODAY?" And when they answer, "Last week, I..." I usually cut them off with, "But why are you here TODAY?"
