What's up everyone -
I've noticed that generally rural ER's staffed by FP/IM people generally aren't highly thought of by you real EM types. Basically I've done most of my shadowing stuff (I'm still a premed) in a smaller, rural-ish hospital (level III, 150 beds)) that serves a very large, very rural surrounding area. I'm wondering just how much the standard of care suffers at places like this and what you guys think are the most important changes that need to be made.
