Pretty much every one I have seen at the emergency had a valid reason for being there. Have seen a few drama queens and mental patients who should be somewhere else.

When I have broken a toe or ribs I do not bother going to the doc or emergency, but there are occasions that dictate that a trip to emergency is called for.

OT Just in case that post was directed at me, I went to Emergency on orders from a medical practitioner. Almost always when I go it is the same, told by a doctor to head there so I can get the necessary test more quickly.

I am fortunate to live near a small hospital so as long as I walk the 100 metres from my door To the ward door when it opens at 8 am I can get everything dine and head home within a few hours. Fortunately this time I remembered to take a pillow because due to the damage done to my body over the years, sitting in a regular chair for too long results in agony.
