Why do they only come to an emergency department? Isn't there any other avenue?

So, all right, let's kind of angle this a little bit. First of all, what do you recommend? That's number one. And then how might that lead into policy changes or, I don't know, legislation or something that can help here?

So are any of you and your colleagues, you know, talking policy changes now? So give me a for instance.

Yeah, and it's one thing, the money, it's another thing, the appropriateness of care, you know?

Yeah, and it's one thing, the money, it's another thing, the appropriateness of care, you know?

Yeah, consistency of care becomes a problem. So let me ask you, okay, so obviously, you know, a variable in all of this are the costs. So, all right. So kid has dropped off at the emergency. Who's paying for this? I mean, is it coming?

Wow. Wow. So it's kind of... It's beneficial for the health insurance companies. Yeah, because they don't have to dish out any money. Okay.

it's mind-boggling. What I would love to do is have a follow-up on just this discussion for emergency room because I want to talk about some other things here with you. But a follow-up to see, okay, where are things? Are things getting better? Is there some legislation? Are they opening up office buildings that are empty now because everybody is telecommuting?

I don't think it's for a lack of space. I think it might be a lack of professionals. And also costs, but that's where legislation could come in to help maybe figure out places and help to hire people. But anyway, a lot to be determined here, but I just have to underscore this, that this is troubling and sad. and sad, and I truly hope that there will be some solutions sooner than later.

So, all right, let's talk about the ER in general. You've been an emergency room physician for many years now. What are the most common things that you see, especially for kids?
