By the way, some people might be surprised to learn that there are numerous hospitals in the country today where the hospital has laid off many of their emergency room staff due to lack of business.
Of course the news programs on television are always going to show the most extreme situations. That brings viewers which in turn brings advertisers to pay the bills. They're not going to show empty emergency rooms across the country because that's not riveting news.
If it bleeds, it leads. If they can't show something sensational or scary, then no one would watch and they would go out of business.
