by lack of access. For example, inability to pay for prescriptions or lack of timely diagnosis that would otherwise occur during routine physicals can be fatal.
And, ER treatment does not always consist of emergency surgery or any other full solutioin to a problem.
And, no matter what has taken place, very often, if not always, an ER discharges a patient with written instructions to follow up with their primary care physician.
