What would it take for you to go to the ER?

Would have to essentially have a stroke and someone notice I started having symptoms or my heart was beating out of my chest. Legit would have to feel like I was dying.
Can’t imagine going there for a headache or fever only to be sitting there for half the day before you are finally seen

I'd probably go if my arm got cut off somehow

A kidney stone.

Severe chest pain, serious injury, stroke. Something with my children that I wouldn’t feel comfortable with urgent care. That’s it

Went yesterday for carbon monoxide poisoning. No wait at all. They just rushed me straight back.

It's almost like there aren't millions of health conditions of severity between a stroke and a fever

Missing limb

If your kid is running 104 and it’s 2AM I’d hope you’d go to the ER.

A lot.
But others have been trained to use it as their primary care (including ambulance rides).

How did this happen?

yeah, but the difference between what my wife thinks is an emergency and I think is an emergency is pretty freaking huge.

Last time I went was after a needle stick injury in the operating room during medical school.
Last time my wife went was for post-partum fever which resulted in a several day admission.
I would need a service I couldn’t provide myself or my kids in the next 6ish hours to go. And I’m now crazy enough to keep expired sutures and a sterile kit at home for myself, if needed.

There is Urgent care, and there is Emergency care....

Went a few months ago for deep, throbbing abdominal discomfort that wouldn't improve with meds or non-pharm methods. They took my gallbladder out the next morning. Little fricker was full of stones.
ETA: This was on a weekend at around 8PM. If it had been a weekday or even earlier in the day, I'd have called my PCP or tried an urgent care first.

You would be shocked the bullshite that comes in the ER. And a lot of lower social economic class individuals got nuttin' better to do. And don't worry they aren't paying.

Been there for kidney stones. Not something you can just “tough it out”
