> Anyone can go to the ER
They'll treat you if you have a heart attack and make it in alive. They won't put you on blood thinners or statins 10 years before that to keep you out of the ER in the first place.
I don't think ERs do chemotherapy either.
Yup, ERs are not a replacement for actual medical care.
Their only goal/duty is to stabilize you during an acute medical emergency so you don't immediately die.
