Ever wonder what life is like inside a real emeregcy department? Watch the short video below and spend a day with Kimberly Morrissette, M.D., an emergency department physician at Providence Swedish Redmond.
Dr. Kimberly Morrissette begins her day before sunrise, heading into a 6 a.m. shift in the emergency department at Providence Swedish Redmond. In this short Day in the Life video, she shares what it’s like to care for patients with serious, time-sensitive conditions – from head bleeds and chest pain to overdoses and heart attacks.
Dr. Morrissette’s experience offers an important reminder for patients: choosing the right level of care when you’re sick or injured matters, so you can get the right care as quickly as possible.
Emergency departments are staffed and equipped to quickly determine what’s going on when symptoms are severe of life-threatening. For less serious needs such as coughs, colds, minor cuts, or simple injuries, urgent care is often a faster and more appropriate option.
Providence Swedish Redmond offers both Emergency and Urgent Care services, helping patients get the right care, in the right place, at the right time. Learn more about how to choose the right place for the right care.
