st: survival analysis vs ols

Hello,

We are trying to estimate the effect of ER room conditions on the time it takes for patients to receive treatment A. All patients received treatment A some time their ER admission so we don't have any right censoring problem. I was just told that in this case survival analysis and OLS give the same results. Is that correct?

Thanks.

Carolyn
