[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1323304, member: 32753"] If your friend would have gone to an urgent care, he'd have been diagnosed, and then put in an ambulance and sent to a hospital. In his case going to the ER didn't cost anything, but if he had kidney stones or gas-non-life threatening conditions he'd have to pay more. Going to an urgent care won't kill you. People may push to be admitted, but that doesn't mean the hospital will take them. Hospitals are often overcrowded as it is; a fever or the flu won't get you admitted, neither is even "chest pain". (I speak from experience. Went to an ER once for severe chest pain, which turned out to be some strain in a muscle deep within my chest cavity. I had visions of being "held for observation", but with a script for percs I was sent on my way). [/QUOTE]
