Whoever you are THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Needed ER yesterday evening(should have gone hours earlier but ......). Took about 20 minutes from Spanish Springs area. I was visibly suffering when went in, was triaged immediately and five minutes later was having IV port put in. There were others in waiting room, but took me immediately. Five minutes later I was having CT scan done then back to room. And I mean room. You are in a private room with walls, door, private bathroom, etc... Dr came in told me what they needed to do for me. Nurse got the IV bag ready, he told me what was in it, etc... reception person came in and got me all registered. When the nurse would say he’d be back in ten, that’s when he came back. Everyone was very communicative, explaining everything, etc...
Anyway had to have two IV bags. After that was discharged with all lab reports, CT report, Dr’s discharge report, prescription. Advised to see my doctor today or tomorrow which I am doing.
Ride home took only about 10 minutes, hit all lights and no traffic. They are open 24 hours always have at least one Dr present and plenty of other staff.
So do yourself a favor, drive the extra 20 minutes for excellent ER care.

That is great to know. Thank you. Is it considered a "hospital emergency room" for insurance purposes?
