are you counting urgent care AND er? If it is both, I've been five times in my adult life.

I meant urgent care. 3 of mine were stitches, that may have been in urgent care, I don't remember the ones when I was a kid. I only went to the ER for the "bagel incident" because I didn't have a regular doctor and the ER was only a couple of blocks away, so it made more sense.

I've been, as an adult, twice for asthma, once for falling down a flight of stairs, and once for a dental abscess. I think that's it, though.

As a kid, my brother went a bunch of times, but I don't remember ever going as a kid. He was always falling out of trees and taking headers over his handlebars, though.

every time I went to urgent care, I shouldn't have gone. There were issues that I thought were emergencies that would have resolved on their own if I knew how to treat them properly OTC. the ER trips were non-negotiable.

Yes, the Speed Bump is by far the best NEL twist they've come up with.

Yeah, I like it a lot.

(Why you would ask a driver who got you hideously lost and clearly is totally unfamiliar with the part of the city you're in is a different question, of course.)

SERIOUSLY. That guy was the worst driver ever!

How many times have you been to the emergency room?

Once, as far as I know, and it was mostly a mistake (I didn't realize there was a walk-in clinic next door, or I would have gone there).

I've only been once for me. And that was when I broke my leg.

I've had two ER visits (once at age three for stitches in my head and once at 14 for a sprained ankle), plus one walk-in clinic visit last year for sinus infection (I was in between doctors, otherwise I would have gone to the doctor's office).

I've never broken a bone or had any kind of serious or chronic illness, so in general, I don't see doctors much.

I think the last time I went to the actual emergency room was when I was 10 or so. Last time I went to urgent care was probably in college, when I had to get the campus health services to help me after hours when I got knocked down by a bike.

Twice to the ER (broken bones both times), four times to "urgent care" (all since age 22). Though only one of those urgent care visits really counts--three of those were for strep throat, but twice was to the place a couple blocks from work that really wasn't an "urgent care" place, truly, I was just too lazy to go all the way to my doctor when I knew they were covered by insurance and I could go on my lunchbreak (and I was certain I had strep). And once was to the urgent care place that was also a travel medicine clinic because that was the only place that would give me some of the vaccines I needed for my round-the-world trip.

I don't remember ever having gone to the ER.
