Second ER visit in 2 weeks, this time with my ill husband who had fallen and suffered bad cut to head. I was astounded by the incompetence in the ER. No doctors, just a nurse practitioner there this time.

If by chance you see this, I have a family member who works urgent care. The company decided that to save money they would only have 1 practitioner for the whole clinic with an alternate, extra at a different one who could come over if things are too busy. In that case it’s all about making money and nothing to do about care, even though the family member is plenty caring. It’s a very difficult work environment. I can see why people quit and there’s such a shortage of good practitioners. They were even trying to get an unqualified person to do things that she wasn’t trained or skilled to do. Much healthcare has become poorly run (probably illegal) in my opinion.
$$ has taken the “care” out of health care.
That "free" healthcare is actually good, for the very basic of needs, anything else, it can be a nightmare.
