Our healthcare system pushes people to do this and I don’t blame them for it. I assume you have a doctor but for people who don’t, the emergency is often the only care readily available. It’s not productive to attack each other while the conservatives destroy any and all options for healthcare we have
We do, the article sounds like a stressed parent, but obviously the triage saw it wasn’t an immediate crisis. I had a child in true crisis, they brought her in immediately with no wait.
People and media like to bandwagon healthcare, and don’t understand it is triage not personal hospital care.
Same when I had Cancer, I was brought in right away for surgery, MRI, CT, PETS, and fitting of the plastic fixture that holds you steady for radiation. They needed 2 weeks total (including the above) to plan the radiation paths, and coordinate with chemo hospital stays. 7 weeks later I was out of the system (and cancer free) just checkups regularly.

In Canada? I thought you all had better than we do down here in the States.
Regardless, you’re still going to be triaged and have to wait if your situation isn’t urgent and other patients are waiting.

“Better” doesn’t mean that there aren’t issues.
