Health Sciences North is hoping everyone can have a safe and health Christmas with these holiday tips.
If you’re feeling sick this weekend, consider other options before visiting the Emergency Department.
Emergency Physician Doctor Chris Bourdon says over the holidays the ED tends to get a little busier.
He says patients with less serious medical needs may end up waiting much longer.
If you don’t think you’re having a medical emergency consider contacting your family doctor when possible or visit a walk-in clinic or pharmacy.
When you’re out and about this holiday season, make sure to wear weather-appropriate clothing and always check the forecast before planning a long trip.
