A Caregiver Conversation by Carallel: Alternatives to the ER
Call the doctor. Or go to the emergency room (ER). For decades those were the two primary options people had when medical care was needed quickly. Now, if you or the person you’re caring for are experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, going to the ER (or calling 9-1-1) without hesitation is still the right choice.
But for less serious matters, it’s important to know that the ER can take longer and often, cost more. So in this Caregiver Conversation by Carallel, we discuss ER alternatives–and where to go, when.
