Local hospital emergency departments are increasingly at capacity and patients complain of long waiting times. This is partly because people come to the emergency room with complaints that do not belong here. “Patients also come with simple concerns such as a skin rash or a tick bite. However, a family doctor or a specialist would be the right contact for those,” says Thomas Urich, head of the emergency room at the Salzkammergut Klinikum Vöcklabruck. No one will be turned away, but a decision will be made based on urgency as to who goes first.
In a podcast conversation with Elisabeth Eidenberger, Thomas Urich explains what working in the emergency room is like, what activities are done here every day and what are the aches and pains really fit you in the emergency room – and which ones don’t.
