Emergency rooms in NYC are so overcrowded and often you’re waiting on a gourney to be seen. I’ve been to emergency rooms in upstate NY in college and you’re seen much sooner. I get the thing of priority (obviously if you’re dying or come in an ambulance for an emergent reason, you’ll be soon later than if you’re having cramps—even if it could indicate appendicitis). Right now I’m delaying going to the ER for a c-section scar infection that hasn’t gotten better on antibiotics despite my doctor’s advice. So… has anyone avoided going to a NYC ER? How did it go for you?

Edit: urgent cares won’t see you if it’s an issue post-op—something about them not being insured to do so. That was my original route before seeing my doctor and being prescribed antibiotics.
