| wpot 12/13/22 11:58:18 AM #6: | My sister works in an ER and she would tell you that many/most people who go to the ER shouldn't really be there. Many people go to the ER for more or less any problem they have. Likewise the system is its own worse enemy: there are about 50 trigger phrases you can use when describing your issue to a nurse that will cause him/her to send you to the ER instead relying on a clinic visit. It's good to be cautious, yes, but many times the forwarding is something that's clearly being done for legalistic (not realistic) reasons. Anyhoo, if posting wait times cuts down on any of that it would be a good thing. --- Pronounced "Whup-pot". Say it. Use it. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
