What is the difference between the emergency department and the urgent care department?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Level of threat: Traditionally we define a medical emergency as any acute condition that immediately threatens life, limb or eyesight. Whereas, an urgent care issue is an acute medical problem that does not constitute such an immediate threat.
