But it’s important to know when these resources should be used. Not every problem needs that much attention, but it’s better to be safe than sorry when you are concerned about your well being. The emergency room is also a health resource that shouldn’t be used in excess. If it’s a trivial matter that isn’t persistent or worsening, then maybe the urgent care is a more wise choice.]]> 2022-12-07 20:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/saraahmed8/29nqvpexgfqsqsop/wish/2413438145 saraahmed8 https://padlet.com/saraahmed8/29nqvpexgfqsqsop/wish/2413438282 My personal experience starts with me being sick with a sore throat. It got progressively worse but I was determined to just let time run its course. This obviously didn’t end well, as I had almost lost my voice by the time I went to the doctor. This showed me that I had resources and I should’ve used it before my throat had gotten as bad as it did.]]> 2022-12-07 20:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/saraahmed8/29nqvpexgfqsqsop/wish/2413438282 saraahmed8 https://padlet.com/saraahmed8/29nqvpexgfqsqsop/wish/2413438378 “The emergency department was designed to provide fast, life-or-limb-saving care. Many people, however, use the ER as a place to receive urgent care without realizing it. If you’re ever in doubt, it’s better to be safe and go to the closest ER.” (iBook 6)

“Sometimes it can be difficult to determine whether or not a doctor is needed when something is wrong with your physical or mental health.  When an emergency arises, and there is a pressing health care need, this decision can be even more challenging.” (iBook 6)


“There is a difference between urgent care and emergency care and what is best to seek treatment.” (iBook 6)]]> 2022-12-07 20:06:01 UTC https://padlet.com/saraahmed8/29nqvpexgfqsqsop/wish/2413438378
