I don't think most people would have an issue with more nurses that could empty an emergency room of the trivial cases. I once sat for 5 hours with my son at ACH because we thought he had broken his arm. Turns out it was nursemaid elbow. Had I known that I could have fixed it myself. Had a nurse taken one look at him they would have known and fixed it in a heartbeat. We would have been gone and allowed our spot to be taken by someone more deserving.
I don't know if it's a liability issue, or what, but it seems so bloody simple.
