I worked in the emergency room for over 2 years here and it gets busy. What a lot of the dependents do is confuse the department of emergency medicine there for a unit's normal sick call or dental sick call. The last time I knew there was no on-call emergency room dentist, the large amount of active duty patients coming in after their unit's sick call looking to get out of work for the day creates a back fill that can last hours and it affects the providers and nursing staff there. There are also ambulances coming in with patients and being a level 2 trauma center, we get patients who were in car accidents and such.
