I agree with you, charli.m. Adult patients are naturally expected to be more physically resilient than then elderly and children.
OP, I'd also like to add, that there's a lot more expectations and pressure on ER staff from the parents of those children; parents are *terrified* of their child dying.
Yet, even the ER staff hate it when parents needlessly waste their time with their child's non-emergency health problems (that's what a family doctor or paediatrician is for)-----
But, there are just as many adult patients who waste ER resources in the same manner.
Why are kids more important?
