How to cope with emergency room visits?

Dr. James Burns answered

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

First: answer the question: "is the reason I a going a real emergency?" If it is to you then go. However accept the decision of the triage person who determines who goes into the emergency room for treatment and in which order. Overall simply be patient
