@BBCBreaking You'd all be horrified by wait times in the US. -
@daisymcgarr@BBCBreaking NHS A&E wait times increase. US wait times too, perhaps not health system design dependent, rather cultural? -
@DrScottNewton@BBCBreaking Sure. So many patients lack primary care providers and use emergency departments for non-emergent/urgent care. -
@daisymcgarr@BBCBreaking Agreed. Societal norms demand instant solutions. A&E is "internet" portal for healthcare. Need more bandwidth. -
@DrScottNewton@BBCBreaking More & more care moving back out A&E, to urgent care clinics, & others, but not enough. Patient ignorance reigns -
@DrScottNewton@BBCBreaking As more patients have insurance, census in emergency depts swells. Hopefully, over time, this will subside.
