Frequently Asked Questions
Who is caring for me?
- Physicians - ED physicians are specially trained to treat patients who are acutely ill.
- Physician Assistants - Physician assistants work under the supervision of ED physicians.
- Nurse Practitioners - Nurse practitioners have advanced degrees and are licensed to practice medicine in collaboration with physicians. They can prescribe medication and care for the needs of ED patients.
- Registered Nurses - Our registered nurses undergo special training to care for patients in our ED. They will monitor your condition, help you with medication and give you instructions for care after you are discharged from the ED. They will also communicate with your family and loved ones to keep them informed of your condition, if you so desire.
Can I have visitors?
Visitors are welcome, but the ED is a busy place and the number of visitors may be limited. At times, visitors are not permitted. The staff will keep you informed in these situations. Visitors are asked to stay clear of hallways and doorways. During flu and RSV season, visitors less than 14 years of age will not be allowed for their own protection.
May I have medication for pain?
Often pain medication can hide symptoms, so medication is only given after you have seen the physician. Let the staff know if you are in pain and other accommodations may be provided.
May I eat or drink?
Some tests require an empty stomach. Therefore, it is not recommended that you eat or drink unless you have a medical condition that requires food or drink.
