Run the model to 03:13:44.5 and then a couple steps later you see that patient ID172 in the OPWaitingRoom captures the XRay machine and then is waiting for a tech to escort him there. Meanwhile patient ID 169 has the tech and is waiting for the XRay machine. Gridlock! You might need to put in a Start Condition to not start that escort activity until a tech is available. There's a number of different ways to resolve gridlocks, so I'll let you decide what makes the most sense. Now that you know what's happening, hopefully you'll be able to figure out a solution. If you need help, let me know.

Oh and by the way, I stumbled upon a syntax error that you have in your Ambulance track activity 200 Next Activity. Check the spelling of your global table "ProcedurePercentages".
