ER visit
Urgent medical trip
A trip to a hospital emergency room for urgent medical care.
ER visits range from genuine emergencies—chest pain, severe injuries—to conditions that could wait for a regular doctor but feel pressing at 2 a.m.
The phrase often appears in discussions of healthcare costs, since ER visits are notoriously expensive: That sprained ankle cost me $800 after the ER visit.
