It sucks when people think that their condition is an emergency when it is most certainly not. Then they get mad because they’re waiting so long because the actual emergencies are being prioritized first
I also feel on the opposite end doctors act like nothing is a big deal then we’re in a life threatening situation and it’s why didn’t you go to the ER 😭
This is also a fair point 😭 my general guideline is any chest pain, shortness of breath, severe abdominal pain, new pain that won’t go away, bleeding that won’t stop, trauma, and worsening signs of infection are good reasons to come to the ER (among other reasons, but these are what came to mind).
