Oh and just to clarify, that includes looking over a patient's chart, which takes time, talking to patient, which takes time, checking medications, which takes time, looking over labs, which takes time, looking over images or last known images, which takes time, talking with patient, which takes time, going back and actually writing the note, which takes time, and since it's the ER, can't discharge until they're certain you won't drop dead. Which, tbh, with some people, once they're checked in, they're auto admit because of their shitty physical condition.
So while I love a good bitch session about how shitty ERs are, people that abuse the EMERGENCY system with non emergencies actually contribute to the problem.
You know that people died before vaccines were around, right? RIGHT? Like, noone lives forever. RIGHT?!
