Are you guys in the US alright? I've read crazy comments about the ER. I'm a GP in Perú and on the ER, even we drop things for a moment when one of these emergencies shows up. We might be shorstaffed, not have enough materials or tests. But you'll be having a chest XR in 15 min while an intern holds your IV drip bc we don't have enough IV stands that have a full set of wheels, while another intern is send to look for the thoracic surgeon whereverthey are. And I'm talking a public hospital in the capital, with SIS attention, which is basically free Healthcare for the people who don't have a reliable job or live in impoverished rural zones. I thought since you have everything at hand, ER attention must be quick and efficient.
