As respiratory illnesses begin to spike, so are unnecessary trips to the emergency department, which could in turn lead to unintended consequences.
According to Cook Hospital,"these high volumes are being driven by a rise in respiratory illnesses, including RSD and Mycoplasma pneumonia ." In turn, this could lead to over-extending limited resources and potentially forcing doctors to have children transferred to other hospitals, said Oquendo. Unnecessary trips to the ER, doctors stress, could also have another unintended and potentially dangerous side effect.
