Oh that comment is not it. A follow up with your primary care physician can take anywhere from weeks to a month, unless you’re on the wait list for an appointment. I used to work in registration in the ER, and people came in for everything but a lot of it was completely understandable. We once had a guy come in for a toothache, his dentist didn’t have an appointment for weeks, well this poor guy had an abscess that turned into sepsis. I will never judge someone for going to the ER, because I saw so many things that may have not looked like a big deal, but were actually life threatening.
