Upon Discharge

When you leave the Emergency Department, you will be given a copy of discharge instructions that include medication and home care instructions.  You may be told to follow up with a primary care physician or specialist.  It is important that you understand all discharge instructions.  If you have questions, please ask a nurse before you leave the ER.

If you had tests done and are waiting for results, you will be instructed on how to obtain the test results.  It is important that you give us the correct phone number so a nurse can contact you, if needed.
