That's one of the reasons why emergency rooms are always packed with people who really should be taken care by a nurse, PA, or intern.
Most ERs are governed by the triage system, which means the patient will first be seen by an RN.
I've never seen a medical student in the ER and for God's sake, why would a patient with a serious problem ever want to see a med student?
