Why didn't you just wait to see your primary physician?

  Lay people don't have the training to determine if an ailment is life-threatening or not; that's why they pay for insurance, so they can see a medical professional who is qualified to say if you could die or not.

    You can say that about 100% of medical complaints. Emergency rooms should be for emergencies. You yourself will know if you are about to die.

      You mean one should wait until the signs show with certainty that they're about to die before going to the ER? That'd a bit of a stretch :). Of course, I went because I thought it was an emergency (though I can see your definition of 'emergency' is quite different from mine). It's not like I went because I had cold.
