this isn't a rant on health care but?

[Banana tree]

why do idiots go to the ER when they have a broken nose, smashed finger or sprained ankle??? unless you live far away from an urgent care facility or doctor i don't understand why these people do that...
if we learn to educate people on proper use of the ER would that make public health care a more attractive option.
maybe idiots is harsh but ignorant i mean
the ER is for people who are very ill or seriously injured
when did i say broken arm in any of that? i said minor injuries ARE FOR THE URGENT CARE CENTER.

Last time i checked, breaking your arm is an emergency.
If you show up at your family doctor or small urgent care clinic with a broken arm hes gonna send you somewhere else, chances are they dont have the equipment at those offices to treat that.

um...those are emergencies.


idiot.

if you broke your nose where would you go? to the dentist. i don't think so.
