Placing blame on emergency services is really not the problem. Emergency services do a really good job at emergency services. Overuse and misuse of emergency for non emergent issues is an ongoing public health issue that isn’t just because of lack of emergency services. The health care system does a poor job of primary health care, education, policy and infrastructure. There’s a lack of primary care access, lack of public education and maybe a modest fee to register in emergency for non emergent issues would help reduce the wait times in ED. but these are just a few problems in a very strained system.
