You don't have to

Run to the er everytime your child throws up or has a fever. It's so annoying!! Flu viruses can not be cured with antibiotics. Your body has to fight it off.

i'd rather see someone go in over a "non emergency" rather than stay home and die of a real one. get over yourself. you're supposed to help people, not complain. i hope you don't act like this in front of your patients

Quoting Anonymous:

My concern is that it clogs the ER and takes attention and time away from actual emergencies. In some cases their bills do not get paid at all, so the hospital foots the bill for my time, the doctors time, and any medical equipment used during your "emergency"

Quoting Dzyre1115:

 Unless you are paying the ER bill, I don't see how it is any concern of yours.

 It keeps you working doesn't it?

Flu viruses don't make you vomit in the first place.

Are you paying their bills?

Quoting macbudsmom:

Paranoid parents or attention seekers... Either way they clog up ers and create unnecessary bills.

Yea. We don't. Only when dd falls. She tends to fall a lot with her muscular dystrophy and break or sprain thongs :(. Or when she gets pneumonia. We know the signs

 If there are no patients, there is no need for staff any kind in an ER.  So stop whining because you feel overworked because you had to do more than sit and stare at a clock and wait for your shift to end.  It's called work, not meditation.
