What kind of care is the question. Often times stabilize and terf em is the name of the game.

    My wife worked in the ER for a few months and had to change departments because of a mental breakdown.

    Understaffed, abused, and a huge chunk of people who are in the ER are desperate and came there as a last resort because of our fucked up healthcare system.

    Not to mention the unstable. Say what you want, but I can count a dozen times where patients threatened to harm my wife for providing care.
