In the US just because a person doesn't get much actual care at an ER that doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't have good cause to go there. Some ERs don't always provide the level of care that they should, some doctors/insurance companies require patients to go to the ER for anything they need after office hours, and sometimes there's a need to be seen for something because of perfectly reasonable and valid concerns that it might be more serious than it ultimately ends up being. While it's possible that the commenter's visit to the ER was a "waste of time and resources" I don't think it's fair to assume that from what was said.
