In Episode 014 of The Household Health Podcast, I interview Dr. Archana Reddy, a practicing Emergency Physician with over 10 years of experience, about accessing the health care system through the Emergency Department. We discuss the role of the Emergency Department, what patients can expect when going to the Emergency Department, what are signs that you should go to the Emergency Department, the role that an Urgent Care plays in accessing the healthcare system, the difference between the services provided in the Emergency Department VS the Urgent Care, the importance of having a Primary Care Provider and what role they play when you visit the Emergency Department, myths about the Emergency Department and much more!
