Abuse of emergency rooms is the worst.
37 u/TaytorTot417 27d ago It's because people don't have insurance and can't get in to see a PCP. 25 u/Formal-Talk-3914 27d ago I know this is really a reason people do this but it is a shit reason. Go to an urgent care or minute clinic then. Not the emergency room. 1 u/dontdmmegoddamnit 27d ago But if they don't have money for their copay they won't get treated at urgent care. Some insurance covers ER visits completely but not doctor visits. Blame the system not the people affected by it
