[quote=Anonymous]I think this is good. I think the majority of things that people go to the ER for could be handled at urgent care. Like sore throats, sprained ankles, even broken arms are better treated in a doctor's office, not ER. Less people in the ER helps everyone. Then the real cases can get through quicker. I have Kaiser Permanente and LOVE their urgent care. When we have an emergency, we call the nurse line and ask what to do. I'm shocked at the emergencies that their urgent care can handle, but they've always done an excellent job. DH cut his finger nearly off (it was dangling and broken), they fixed it easily. He had an appointment with a specialist the next day too. I think heart attack symptoms will always be covered. But as it is now, when they're overloaded it's hard to get care for heart attacks too. A couple of years ago a coworker died of a heart attack in the Reston ER waiting room. [/quote]
