Description
Currently over 130 million people visit the emergency department every year. Given this statistic, there is a good chance that you or a member of your family will need to seek medical care at an emergency department in the next year. Despite these high visitation rates, many people going to the emergency department, seeking medical care, are unaware of the people they will meet and the process they will encounter. Having a good understanding of both will help you to navigate through your visit and optimize your understanding and, hopefully, the care you will receive. It is through this understanding that it is hoped you will have a productive, informative, and satisfying emergency department experience.
Navigating Medicine: a Patient's Guide to Visiting the Emergency Department will guide you through the emergency department""providing you with information on the process, including triage, the time you wait, the people you may meet, the types of illnesses you may have that will need emergent treatment as well as the discharge process.
With half of all medical care in America being provided through emergency departments, it is almost inevitable that, at some time in the future, you or someone you know will find themselves in an emergency department.
Why is it so important to know what to expect and what is expected of you during a visit? The more you understand the people and the process involved, the better you will be prepared and, hopefully, the more fruitful an experience it will be.
In Navigating Medicine: a Patient's Guide to Visiting the Emergency Department, you will be familiarized with the process you will encounter from the moment you are first assessed in triage continuing through either admission to the hospital or discharge from the emergency department at the end of your visit.
