In many areas there is no none emergency medical care available on weekends and after 5 PM. If the government
wants to deal with something deal with this obvious flaw!

About two months ago on a Saturday morning my daughter and son in law were told by the pediatrician to bring my granddaughter to the ER. Unbeknownst to the doctor and my daughter the hours for the ER on Saturday and Sunday had been changed to noon to 5 only. No doctors or nurses available. All kinds of people there bleeding, moaning, one kid had blood dripping from his head. They were all told to either sit there til noon or come back at noon. None of them were seen or registered to be seen. Hospital security was there to make sure people didn't complain too loudly. My granddaughter ended up being taken to another ER on the other side of town. They were in and out in three hours.

Patience is a virtue. If it’s not an emergency, wait until the next morning. We used to do that. When you had strep, you treated yourself and waiting to get into your doctor the next day.

Big whoop.
