My whole point is exactly what you said. Better access to primary care so people who just need stitches are not a burden at all to the emergency services. Are nurses even allowed to put in stitches? Seems to me having to wait for one of the 5 doctors in the hospital for stitches, is rather inefficient, when one of the 20 nurses could help me instead.
Amen. Nurses could be trained. Good luck convincing the AMA to let the government allow it
