An emergency room is a space in hospitals or health care centers dedicated to the care of patients in a medical emergency, without prior appointment. This medical emergency may or may not endanger the patient's life; therefore, emergency rooms are usually equipped with medical and personal equipment for all types of emergencies.
People who <u>don't have medical insurance</u> generally attend the emergency room because it guarantees that they will be treated without a prior appointment because by law they cannot stop caring for a patient that requires medical attention.
