Emergency rooms in Alabama are once again facing an influx of patients, but this time it’s not because of COVID-19.
UAB reports the number of emergency room patients waiting on beds is at an all-time high. And that’s putting added stress on health care workers.
Dr. Max Capouano says the only reason to go to the ER is if you are having heart palpitations, shortness of breath, a seizure, stroke symptoms, slurred speech, chest pain or if you have been in a severe accident. Another reason Capouano says emergency rooms are backed up is due to many patients coming in without health insurance.
