Obviously in extreme and emergency pain you go to the ER, but that's not what's being showcased in the skit. yes this skit is a perfectly neutral representation of this type of interaction, not filtered through the lens of someone with an agenda at all, no sir Forceful_Dragon posted... You have a real medical concern? See your PCP and insist on referrals and tests. I didn't have a PCP for years. And a lot of these people in the comments were also being dismissed by their PCPs. The general public doesn't have intimate knowledge of how the medical industry works. They're in pain, they go to "the hospital." It feels like an emergency so they go to the ER. You don't have to be an idiot to have big gaps in your knowledge about the different types of facilities and the SOP for getting the treatment you need. And it's silly to deny someone pain meds just because you haven't pinpointed the specific problem. Even if you can't yet fix the underlying issue you can make the ouch go away in the interim. --- Neato, an account ... Copied to Clipboard! |
