Should I Go to My Doctor or the Emergency Room?

Emergency Room

One day you’re minding your own business, perhaps running an errand or doing some housework – then BAM! You get hurt.

“They were interested in my point of view and what I wanted. They kept me informed of my progress in reaching those goals. I learned a lot about a lot of things, like my nutritional needs as part of regaining my health. With what I had, I was initially told I had a 50-50 chance of making it. I believe the people at Carrus saved my life. I appreciate them so much. I was sad to leave. Glad I was healthy enough but it felt like I was leaving home.”
