What Is Emergency Medicine?
Emergency medicine is the specialty focused on diagnosing and treating sudden illness and injury. Emergency physicians are often the first doctors a patient sees, caring for anyone who walks through the door, 24/7.
When to Go to the ER
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech), severe bleeding, or sudden confusion. For minor issues, urgent care or your primary doctor may be faster.
