The emergency department was designed to provide fast, lifeor-limb-saving care. " (pg 6 ). If someone is in mortal danger then it is best to go to the ER but if it is a small injury or minor abrasion it is usually best to visit your closest Urgent Care. " Sometimes driving yourself or a loved one to the emergency room won’t get you the medical care needed fast enough. " (pg 7).
