URGENT CARE VERSUS EMERGENCY ROOM
Illnesses and injuries can put our lives on hold. Suffering from a persistent cough can be irritating and you want to visit your primary doctor but there are no appointments available. The Illness is not serious enough to visit the emergency room. Urgent care treatment might be a healthier option when the symptoms are not serious enough for a trip to the emergency room, or the doctor’s office is closed.
Life-threatening emergencies like head injuries or a heart attack require the services of the emergency department, also called an emergency room. But, an injury or illness that does not seem to be life threatening but cannot wait until the next day should be treated at an urgent care center.
