I’ve practiced emergency medicine for 20+ years, and I think we’ve been asking the wrong question. Instead of asking why patients “misuse” the ER, maybe we should ask why our healthcare system gives them so few reasonable alternatives. PCP can’t see you. Urgent care sends you https://t.co/GCxzuveCjr
