Query: What is the difference between a walk-in clinic and an emergency room?
Context: An emergency room is an extension of a hospital that provides 24/7 care for life-threatening emergencies. Walk-in clinics provide one-stop locations for emergencies that are not life-threatening. They also are intended to reduce the burden on emergency rooms. Walk-in clinics also offer more affordable options for non-emergency medical situations, such as minor burns, cold and flu, sore throat, mild asthma, minor cuts and wounds, etc.
