Urgent care facilities ought to be offloading ERs in most cases. Something as trivial as needing some stitches is an ER visit instead. I think this kind of ends up trivializing ER.

- brewdad 3y agoI've had to use urgent care a half dozen times over the past 20 years. In all but one case, they sent me to the ER because they didn't want to be responsible for my care outcomes. None of them were really "emergencies". I'm lucky if there is an actual MD on premises at my in-network urgent care.
- Auracle 3y agoOur local urgent care closes at 7:30pm on weekdays and 4pm on weekends. That doesn’t help.
