I think one benefit of the emergency room is that you know it'll be open. Doctor offices follow normal working hours. Every time I've ended up in an emergency room its for something that happened in abnormal hours.
- nradov 9y agoThe usual solution is urgent care clinics with extended hours, although in some areas they aren't open 24 hours. Symptoms always seem to get worse at 3 AM.
- ribosometronome 9y agoSome? I'd guess that in most areas, they aren't open 24 hours. As far as I know, SF (for example) doesn't have any urgent care centers that are open overnight.
- irrational 9y agoSame here. Our local urgent care places aren't open very late, so every time we've gone to the emergency room is because it's the only medical establishment open.
