Emergency Room

An Emergency Room (ER) is a specialized section of a hospital designed to provide immediate medical care for urgent and life-threatening conditions. Patients visit the ER for issues like severe injuries, heart attacks, strokes, or breathing difficulties. Medical staff, including doctors and nurses, are trained to quickly assess and treat these situations. The ER operates 24/7 and prioritizes cases based on urgency, meaning those with the most critical needs are seen first. While it can treat a variety of ailments, it's not intended for routine check-ups or non-emergency medical concerns.
