This is a vote of confidence in the Triage System. I think it works beautifully.
More than once, I've gone to Emergency with Life Threatening Situations. And I've been bumped to the head of the line and treated immediately.
For most medical problems, I would definitely go to a Family Doctor or Urgent Care. Once I went to Emergency with a nose bleed that just wouldn't stop. It was the middle of the night, everywhere else was closed. I had to wait for four hours to be cauterized. I was totally OK with that, because I knew the doctors were busy attending to more serious situations.
