Wed, 26 Feb 2020 01:16:31 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=393321#comment-407714 People should make sure to remember that all that these “ERs” do is delay definitive care if you’re having an emergency that requires more than a band-aid or stitches or maybe an antibiotic prescription (even those, frequently). If you present to one of these facilities with a legitimate emergency and it requires ANY sort of continuous care, whatsoever, you will require transport to another facility, thereby extending the time that it takes to get you to definitive care. The only method currently available for that transport is Escambia EMS, and they are already over taxed and under staffed due to wages that aren’t competitive, so it will often take quite a long time to get an ambulance to you to transport you to a facility that can provide definitive care. It’s also worth noting that since you are already under the care of a physician while at the “ER” your call will be the lowest priority.

Having that experience I would go to the main hospital and not a satellite, stand alone. The resources (surgery, cardiovascular and other emergent interventions) will not be there. Maybe the people who clog up the emergency departments with their non-emergent problems will use them and stay away from the main hospitals. Time will tell about if it helps the congestion in the EDs. Well I have extensive experience in the emergency departments both working and being a patient.

This is a great addition to the area. 9 Mile Road was bad before and it’ll be bad after, but now it will be bad but with the potential to provide life saving services. @patient That doesn’t have anything to do with the addition of a new ER @unclem

Evidently you haven't had to visit a local emergency room when the wait times can be hours. I welcome both of these facilities to the neighbor hood and if Baptist wants to build one I will welcome them with open arms. @ uncle M

Nothing like making 9 mile worse then it is now. I know how I spelled Scared. Wonder when Baptist is going to build their's down the road?
