(Providers) No time for blogging recently as we have been incredibly busy in our local Peds ED. It is easy to complain about the people who are not really sick and should be visiting their primary care physician instead of coming to the ED. However, lately, we have seen an amazing number of truly sick children in need of emergency care. They say that misery loves company. I found this nice review of the overcrowding experiences nationwide. At least it is nice to know that we are not alone in this.
