Oh, your child has a fever of 99.5F and you thought bringing him to the ER at 3AM was the proper thing to do?

You are obviously a fantastic parent.

Oh, your kid had diarrhea today, but he is currently running around the ER at 4AM?

Who allowed you to have children?

It's because 2AM is PIIHB time (gender neutral).

A couple of months ago my dad had an accident during the night that required stitches. He waited until morning so as not to inconvenience the ER staff. You're welcome.

"I just cant sleep" - UDS positive for meth

"Toothache" - you wouldnt go see you dentist for a heart attack...so why go to ER for a toothache"

"I dont have a doctor" - many people use the ER as their primary care, when asked about Obamacare...never heard of it

People are incredibly ignorant when it comes to their health and what qualifies as a serious injury or illness.

They're afraid the smallest thing could lead to their death if it's not dealt with immediately. This is nothing new.

I've been to the ER once in the past 20 years. Was for head trauma, got a cat scan, laid in a bed for a couple of hours, then they finally let me go home even though I said I was fine hours before that.

I try to avoid any hospital. Accidents happen, but too many people act like they are dying because their lil tummy hurts or their throat is sore.

They really want an excuse to not go to work the next day.

Plus they don't have to pay and are required by law to be seen. Doesn't work that way at Dr.'s office during normal business hours.

Go ahead and order up that completely unnecessary CT for them.

Patients are woefully ignorant, but doctors are soooo damn arrogant and complain about patients incessantly.

And if you're an MD with this kind of attitude ... don't you have better things to do?

My wife works in healthcare. A couple months ago a lady came in by ambulance at 10 PM because her 3 year old son had a fever of 100.3. The ER Dr told her to give the kid some Tylenol and follow up with his pediatrician if the fever doesn't break. She then asked the Dr. if the Ambulance was going to bring them home.

Unfortunately I have to utilize the ER more than I'd like to.

Fortunately I don't have to wait, they always bring me straight on back.

My back hurts.They usually give me a shot of something that starts with a D."Dilawda"...

I'll go to the ER only if I think I may die without going.

I went to the ER 5 years ago at 3AM because I couldn't breathe (I was a smoker). They gave me a breathing treatment and admitted me. To this day, I haven't touched another cigarette and breathe great. Thanks ER.
