there are privately owned? If so we have that too, but I don't know much about them.
University hospital does do a fast-track ER for the people who need stitches or have the flu, but only until 5. It turns into the pediatric ER at night. I was grateful for that when I was down there with my son, who had either sprained or broken his ankle.... meant we didn't have to deal with the street people who wind up in there at night. Mind you at 15 he wouln't be too shocked, but I've seen stuff in the main ER you definitely would not want young children around. >Here they have urgent treatment facilities that help to separate the flu >folks from the real ER folks.
