MD For Moms Radio, Every Wednesday 1pm (ET) on The BBM Global Network, TuneIn and iHeartRadio or as a podcast on iTunes.

This week on MD for Moms, I interview Emergency Medicine Physician Dr. Esther Mizrachi about appropriate use of the ER. Knowing what is a true emergency versus something that can wait for a doctors office visit in a day or two can be tricky. One the one hand, it’s tempting to go to the ER with a concern to have fears allayed or for faster treatment, but it’s also important to remember that not everything needs that level of care. ER’s are busy places, and resources are even more taxed since COVID began, especially now with the recent surges throughout the country.

Dr. Mizrachi explains the criteria that can be used when considering if a trip to the ER is necessary, as well as answers questions about common ailments and injuries. We also review most up to date guidance on COVID, the vaccine and when someone should go to the hospital rather than stay home if they’re sick with COVID, plus more.
