Yes, but this is offset by the fact that ED providers who actually MAY have the skill to diagnose an ear infection, simply tells the parent their baby has an ear fection (I would probably do the same thing at 1AM for a parent who has been waiting four hours in the waiting room) when in fact they couldn't even see the ear due to wax. Then the patient leaves the practice, because I had told them a week before the baby didn't after making their baby scream for five minutes to actually see the ear.
