I work at the hospital as a nurse at the ER. People go there for little things like stitches; if the doctor doesn't find anything serious about it, he wants you to be discharged and follow up with your PCP. The reason is because we have to deal every day with more serious medical patients like homeless who have been in the streets exposed to the elements and become dehydrated so we have to IV those patients or they die, patients with mental conditions who need to be restrained, domestic violence, shots wound patients, uninsured, tourists, patients from other counties and the list goes on and on so we nurses have to be on the go. If you have insurance and are don't have a life-threaning situation go to the closer "urgent care" which is cheaper but still you have to wait..... some people have bad experience others not so most hospital's ER you will have some experience either bad or good depending on the situation.
