Our physicians and nurses are specialists in emergency medicine. They will examine you and will create a plan of care based on your individual treatment needs. Lab tests and diagnostic procedures may be ordered to further help diagnose your condition.
Additional consulting physicians and/or social workers may also participate in the evaluation. Since LLUMC/LLUCH is an academic medical center, residents (physicians receiving advanced training) may also be involved in your care, under the supervision of highly qualified professors, called "attending physicians."
Emergency Department physicians will discuss any treatment plans with you, or with you and your family, and will always protect your right to privacy.
