Phase 2 queue behavior showing how skipped tokens move to On Hold, wait through three subsequent calls, and then return automatically to service.
When a patient is absent, the token is not discarded. It changes state to On Hold, the queue continues serving the next tokens, and the skipped token is auto-recalled after exactly three later calls.
The token is called and then marked absent, shifting from Now Serving into an On Hold state.
The queue keeps moving while three later tokens are called and processed in order.
After the third intervening call, the skipped token re-enters service automatically for its final outcome.
This panel traces the two tokens that entered On Hold and shows how their recall paths diverged after returning to service.
