The ER idea is brilliant, especially because I just moved here and don’t have a PCP yet. Even better, I can hit up urgent care every day!
Yeah your biggest obstacle right now is going to be "our next available appointment is in 4 months", so ER is the way passed that. It's not super ethical, but neither is the way our healthcare system operates, so do what you gotta do.
When it comes to the American insurance industry, I think I am fresh out of “ethics.”
