All emergency rooms are required to treat an emergency. And a MRSA staph infection would be considered an emergency since it is a hazard to the community.

Besides the fact that ER visits are roughly 10 times the cost of a doctor's visit.

That's been part of the problem for so long, people using the ER for what should just be routine doctor's visits.
I don't, my insurance does. Hospital stays are hella expensive.
