During a sports event. This again suggests that many ER visits aren’t truly emergencies.

I worked in a community ER for 4 years in NEw England. On Sundays when the New England Patriots played, it was laughable. I did a random study. 17 Female patients would sign in for every male on a Sunday. The males were usually complaining of psychiatric problems, or were demented. On Super Bowl Sunday, NOBODY signed in.
