Good points. I guess pediatric patients just have it made in the Bangor area. 100% of pediatric offices will see a patient same day. I used to have my MA call each family that had a kid go in after three days of fever or vomiting to ask why they didn't come here (after asking how they were of course). It's the adult patients who have to wait. I wish the ED would simply ask the patient if they had called their PCP, then call me and send them over. The problem is there is no copay for a Medicaid patient either at the ED or at the PCP's office.
