Health Matters 250: What to Expect When You Go to the Emergency Department

Health Matters is a program from the Worcester District Medical Society. Host Patrick Lowe, MD, PhD, welcomes Michael Weiner, MD and Erin Meyer to discuss what to expect when you go to the emergency department. They will explain when to go to urgent care vs. the ED vs. making an appointment with PCP, why ED wait times get so long, how patients can help make their ED visit smoother and why some hospital's emergency departments differ from others.
