  • Should I go to the ER for a lung injury?

    They (the emergency department) should have any and all diagnostic and treatment options you should need. However, if you have a primary care provider or clinic, they also could evaluate you and help decide if you need emergency treatment or if they can adequately assess your condition as an outpatient.

The emergency department usually has these specialists on-call for consultation also. READ MORE
