What was her emergency?
Did she have broken bones or was she bleeding?

You said she made it in to an ER across town. Sounds more like miscommunication. Her Pediatrician didn’t know the hours had changed. If she had been in bad shape at the scene, she would have been transported by ambulance to an open ER.

As it was, the parents had time to call the Pediatrician who told them to go to an ER, (standard answer when the Peds office is not open). The ER had specific hours. Not that there was NO ER to go to, just one that was not as convenient.

Sounds okay to me.

What hospital was it?

I don’t know how that can even be called an “emergency room”. Where I’m from, ERs are open 24x7 with an ER doc on duty at all times. The hospital also has to have a 24 hour on-site stat lab.
