Dr. WhiteCoat: “The influx of patients who must turn to the hospitals for routine care will in turn will put a bigger strain on an already overburdened system. Now not only are you waiting in line with the true emergencies in the emergency department, you’re waiting in line with the other poor souls who have no other means to receive health care. More roadblocks to care.”
"When everything is an emergency, nothing is an emergency"
