Sorry you are wrong. If a person comes to the ER with a hangnail they MUST be seen by an MD. It is illegal to send them next door to urgent care. Hospitals are scared $hitless of violating this law ridiculous as it may seem. Much of hospital care defies logic.

Skeeter I agree it's absurd to think that hospitals should be in the business of providing housing, But that scene in Sicko seemed to hit a chord in people who thought that Kaiser was a monster for returning patients to skid row (btw all the LA hospitals have been known to do the same thing.) How the h do people think hospitals can absorb the costs of housing along with free health care?

I could write a book about containing health care costs. A major part would be changing people's attitudes towards healthcare. Evidence based treatment.
