Inappropriate ER use is commonly discussed here. Apparently this article doesn’t do the topic justice:
Dr. O’Keeffe took an article on a desperately important topic and trivialized it with a silly list.
Dr. O’Keeffe then compounds the offense by finishing the article with a list of bullet points to consider when choosing a pediatrician. I thought this was an article about inappropriate use of emergency services!
