Emergency Room as Admitance

I hate what seems to becoming a new way of admitting patients. Get a bad test result? Go get admitted at the emergency room and the doctor will come see you as soon as he can.

What is already the nightmarish process of getting admitted into a hospital becomes a six hour ordeal in a gown on a bed in a hall...with sick, injured people all around. To top it off, by getting admitted this way, the admittee becomes part of the problem for the ER.

It sucks.
