That’s what I saw when I worked in the more Medicaid-heavy areas. That's generally what people do. Just because that's kind of what they know here in Connecticut.
But if you go to the emergency room, you know you're there the entire day, and at the end of it, it might not have needed urgent care. Also at the end of it, they might then just turn around and say, “take these drops, but go see your eye doctor tomorrow.” So they might as well just come here for an eye emergency, as long as, like, your eye balls are not hanging out of your head or something like that. Besides experiencing eye trauma, I don't think patients are going to the emergency room, and I don't think they should, either.
