A member asked:
If you go to the emergency room with significant pain, can they discharge you if the pain isn't under control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Happens every day. ER’s are meant for patients with life threatening conditions that are stabilized and admitted or discharged based on their medical needs.If work up is not pointing towards a significant medical condition, patients may receive symptom control meds and be referred to follow up with their PCP or a specialist. Pain control is attempted most times, not always achieved.
