Majority of ER visits are for non-emergencies.

My husband is a paramedic and good lord the calls he gets 🙄 He took a kid in for a broken finger. Mom followed in her car. She did it because people believe if you arrive in a squad, you get priority treatment. I wonder how long it took her to figure out that that's not true lol

I am a paramedic. We bring people straight to the waiting room all the time. I will give certain patients a heads up that they will most likely go to the waiting room.
